Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is one of the most frequent causes of organic central precocious puberty (CPP). We compared the clinical presentation and the magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 19 patients with HH aged 5.7 +/- 4.1 (SD) years at the first endocrine evaluation. They had isolated CPP (group 1, n = 9), CPP plus gelastic seizures (group 2, n = 5), isolated seizures (group 3, n = 4), and 1 patient was asymptomatic.
