Tuber cinereum hamartoma (also known as hypothalamic hamartoma) is a nonneoplastic tumor in which a disorganized collection of neurons and glia accumulate at the tuber cinereum of the hypothalamus on the floor of the third ventricle.

The condition is caused by a noncancerous mass called a hypothalamic hamartoma.

As noted above, the hypothalamic hamartoma can cause seizures.

An abnormal growth in the brain called a hypothalamic hamartoma is characteristic of this disorder.

Imaging is always helpful in an attempt to diagnose seizures caused by hypothalamic hamartoma.

A hypothalamic hamartoma is defined as a benign mass of glial tissue on or near the hypothalamus.

Reluctantly, Lincoln decides to join the Company to get it back, while Michael suffers from a hypothalamic hamartoma.

Sara takes Michael to the hospital where the doctors diagnoses him with a hypothalamic hamartoma, advising that surgery is required right away or else he might die.

A computed tomography scan of an individual with a hypothalamic hamartoma would reveal an suprasellar mass with the same density as brain tissue.

It remains uncertain how GLI3 mutations can cause polydactyly, hypothalamic hamartoma, and the other features of Pallister-Hall syndrome.

Researchers believe that the loss of memory may be due to injury to the language dominant hemisphere of the fornix during surgical removal or resection of a hypothalamic hamartoma.

If the child has gelastic seizures and precocious puberty, then it is likely that the child will be found to have a hypothalamic hamartoma (a hamartoma in the hypothalamus part of the brain).

Unlike most such growths, a hypothalamic hamartoma is symptomatic; it most often causes gelastic seizures, and can cause visual problems, other seizures, rage disorders associated with hypothalamic diseases, and early onset of puberty.

However, although a computed tomography scan may be useful in diagnosing the cause of a seizure, in the case of a hypothalamic hamartoma, magnetic resonance imaging is the tool of choice due to the cerebrospinal fluid which defines these masses.
