Seizures [ edit ] As noted above, the hypothalamic hamartoma can cause seizures. The most common types of seizures that occur are known as gelastic epilepsy. The term gelastic originates from the Greek word " gelos which means "laughter". [en.wikipedia.org]
Seizures can be controlled with medications. Kuwait Farag et al. (1993) conducted a clinicogenetic assessment of 400 institutionalized mentally retarded (IQ less than 50) Kuwaiti patients during a 4-year period (1986-1990). [cags.org.ae]
