Epileptic encephalopathies secondary to hypothalamic hamartomas treated with radiosurgery: A case series

Acceso Cerrado

Abstract:

Hypothalamic hamartomas are congenital lesions that typically present with gelastic seizures, refractory epilepsy, neurodevelopmental delay, and severe cognitive impairment. Surgical procedures have been reported to be effective in removing the hamartomas, however, they are associated with significant morbidity. Therefore, it is not considered a safe therapeutic modality. Image-guided robotic radiosurgery (CyberKnife® Radiosurgery System) has been shown to provide good outcomes without lasting complications.
