Primary Gamma Knife Radiosurgery as a Treatment Option for Hamartoma of Floor of Fourth Ventricle: A Case Report of Pediatric Hemifacial Spasm
Previous studies have suggested that gelastic seizures of hypothalamic hamartoma are comparable to HFSs of FVH. Our case exemplifies another key similarity between the two, i.e., a near-congruent phasic response to GKRS. This hints at the underlying pathophysiology of HFS in similar pathologies and GKRS as a treatment option in select patients.
