In the aseg, 24=CSF is comprised of some indeterminant ventricle space
in the middle of the brain. It is small and not well defined. In
synthseg, it represents that region but is mostly comprised of
extracerebral CSF as you have noted.

Dear FreeSurfer Experts,
I hope this email finds you well.
I'm reaching out to request clarification regarding label 24 – CSF in
the FreeSurfer software. From my observations, this label appears to
correspond to a region near the third ventricle. However, it does not
seem to be included in any of the standard ventricular volume
measurements.
Additionally, I’ve noticed that in segmentations produced with
SynthSeg, label 24 – CSF appears to correspond to the subarachnoid
space, which adds some confusion. I’ve looked for documentation or
forum discussions on this topic but have encountered mixed information.
Could you please clarify what anatomical region label 24 – CSF
represents in the original (pre-SynthSeg) version of FreeSurfer?
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Best regards,
Emma Rodrigues
