Background: Hypothalamic Hamartoma (HH) is a rare benign mass in the hypothalamus that typically manifests as gelastic seizures (GS) (epileptic events characterized by bouts of laughter inappropriate to the context) resulting in treatment-resistant epilepsy, central precocious puberty (CPP), cognitive decline, or behavioral abnormalities in children. Purpose: To find out the menifestations and management of child with HH. Methods: We report the case of a two-year-old child diagnosed with HH, which manifested as refractory GS, development of secondary sexual characteristics, and aggressive behavior. Results: The child was managed successfully by surgical resection of the mass. The postoperative phase was uneventful, with a good outcome. Timely detection of the condition, parental counseling and education, and early management of the case is important for the best outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
