Daftar Isi:
- Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a rare, slowly growing benign lesion arising from the floor of the third ventricle, tuber cinereum, or mammillary bodies. The incident of HH is 1 in 50,000 - 100,000 births which is often associated with gelastic seizures, cognitive impairment, behavioral distubances, and central precocious puberty. (Esquenazi et al. J Neurosurg Pediatrics 2013;11:630-634.) Gelastic sizures associated with HH are generally intractable to standard antiepileptic drugs. Gamma knife surgery has emerged as an alternative to microsurgical removal or radiofrequency ablation to improve seizure control.
