“…Gelastic seizures not only are associated with hypothalamic hamartomas but also occur with seizure foci due to diverse pathologies, including focal cortical dysplasias in the temporal [10,11] , frontal [12,13] , and parietal lobes [10,14,15] . Our case was unique in having both a hypothalamic hamartoma and pathologically confirmed focal cortical dysplasia.…”

A 19-year-old man with cortical dysplasia and intractable focal seizures underwent a right temporal lobectomy. A hypothalamic hamartoma was subsequently recognized, and he then underwent MRI-guided stereotactic laser ablation. Unfortunately, he sustained damage to the bilateral medial mammillary bodies and suffered significant memory loss. We review laser ablation therapy for hypothalamic hamartomas and the anatomy of the memory network. We postulate that his persistent memory disorder resulted from a combination of the right temporal lobectomy and injury to the bilateral medial mammillary bodies.

“…When not associated with HH, GS have been described in patients with cortical lesions mainly located in the temporal, frontal, parietal, and insular cortices [3][4][5][6]. Gelastic seizures have also been reported in E-mail address: alberto.verrottidipianella@univaq.it (A. Verrotti).…”
