RESUMO
Hypothalamic hamartomas are non neoplastic lesions that may cause precocious puberty with or without complex seizures, personality disorders and mental retardation. We report a 14 years old male that had a precocious puberty at the age of 11 and a prolonged episode of altered sensorium with automatism, that was diagnosed as a complex seizure. Physical examination showed a sexual development classified as Tanner stage III-IV, a height of 168 cm and a weight of 61 kg. Neurological examination was normal. A CAT scan showed a 13x13x9 mm mass in the suprasellar cistern, between the infundibulum and the brain stem, without exerting a mass effect over adjacent structures. It was diagnosed as an hypothalamic hamartoma
