Hypothalamic hamartomas and epilepsy
A hamartoma in the hypothalamus can cause your child to have seizures.
Larger hypothalamic hamartomas often cause more serious symptoms, including changes in mental ability and behavioral problems.
In many cases, these growths do not cause any medical problems; however, some hypothalamic hamartomas lead to seizures or hormone abnormalities that can be life-threatening in infancy.
