pubmed:abstractText |
Drug resistant epilepsy associated with hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) can be cured by microsurgical resection of the lesion. Morbidity and mortality risks of microsurgery in this area are significant. Gamma Knife Surgery's (GKS) reduced invasivity seems to be well adapted. In view of the severity of the disease and risks of surgical resection it is crucial to evaluate GKS for this indication. A first retrospective study has shown a very good safety and efficacy level but for a more reliable evaluation a prospective study would be required.
