Abstract

We report the case of a patient with hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) who was successfully treated with magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for ablation as a disconnection surgery. A 26-year-old man with gelastic epilepsy had been diagnosed with HH at 3 years of age, and antiepileptic drugs were administered due to worsening episodes. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a sessile parahypothalamic hamartoma and MRgFUS ablation was performed, creating an oval-shaped lesion at the boundary area of the HH. Dramatic improvements in seizure symptoms were noted, and he was seizure-free on decreased antiepileptic drugs without any adverse events over the 1-year follow-up period.
