Revised diagnostic criteria for OCCS

Eye Major criteria
• Congenital orbital cyst or microphthalmia with cyst (MOC)
Minor criteria
• Isolated microphthalmia/anophthalmia
• Any other colobomatous defect, ocular or eyelid
Skin Major criteria
• Crescent-shaped skin defect above or behind the ear
• Pedunculated skin appendage, finger-like and moving, or proven striated muscle hamartoma (SMH)
• Pedunculated skin appendage (possible SMH) plus one of minor criteria 2-4 below
Minor criteria
• Pedunculated skin appendage, possible SMH
• Focal hypo- or aplastic lesions
• Small punched-out lesions
• Three or more small nodular tags
Brain Major criteria
• Novel mid-hindbrain malformation consisting of giant, dysplastic tectum rotated upwards, and absent or severely malformed vermis Often associated with nearly horizontal orientation of aqueduct
Minor criteria
• Patchy polymicrogyria, most often frontal predominant
• Subcortical or periventricular nodular heterotopia
• Agenesis of corpus callosum, complete or partial, and often associated with interhemispheric cysts
• Enlarged lateral ventricles, often asymmetric, or hydrocephalus
• Porencephalic cysts unspecified
• Cerebellar vermis and hemisphere hypoplasia
• Posterior fossa fluid collection sometimes with enlarged posterior fossa
Application to diagnosis of OCCS Definite OCCS
• 3 systems involved with major criterium in at least one system, or
• 2 systems involved with major criterium in both
Probable OCCS
• 3 systems involved with no major criterium
• 2 systems involved with major criterium in only one system
