ABSTRACT

Hypothalamic hamartomas are heterotopias of the nervous tissue which are similar to the grey matter of the hypothalamus. They may cause precocious puberty and/or gelastic seizures. We present the case of a patient who began her pubertal development at the age of 9 months. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed a hypothalamic hamartoma associated with middle cranial fossa and pineal region arachnoid cysts, a very rare association.


Los hamartomas hipotalámicos son heterotopias de tejido nervioso que se asemejan a la sustancia gris del hipotálamo. Pueden causar pubertad precoz y/o crisis gelásticas. Presentamos el caso de una paciente que a los 9 meses de edad comenzó desarrollo puberal y que en la resonancia magnética craneal se objetivó un hamartoma hipotalámico asociado a dos quistes aracnoideos, uno en fosa craneal media y otro en región pineal, asociación que es muy infrecuente.
