DOI: 10.1007/s12098-021-03902-6
Abstract: Hypothalamic hamartomas form a rare cause of drugresistant epilepsy (DRE) in children. Though commonly occurring in the hypothalamus, they may rarely occur in other areas like posterior fossa [1]. The most common presentation is gelastic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.002
Abstract: Introduction Patients having a hypothalamic hamartoma frequently present epileptic attacks of laughter, and they later experience multiple additional seizure types. Because of these types of seizures, hypothalamic hamartomas are considered to be a type of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/neuros/nyx604
Abstract: BACKGROUND Hypothalamic hamartomas (HH) are rare lesions associated with treatment-resistant epilepsy. Open surgery results in modest seizure control (about 50%) but has a significant associated morbidity. Radiosurgery is limited to a subset of patients due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/epi.16730
Abstract: Ablation surgery has become the first line of treatment for hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs). For effective treatment, optimum targeting of ablation is mandatory. The present study aimed to evaluate the correspondence between the electrophysiological features of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3340/jkns.2017.0101.005
Abstract: Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a benign indolent lesion despite the presentation of refractory epilepsy. Behavioral disturbances and endocrine problems are additional critical symptoms that arise along with HHs. Due to its nature of generating epileptiform… read more here.
