متن کاملThe benign spectrum of hypothalamic hamartomas: Infrequent epilepsy and normal cognition in patients presenting with central precocious puberty
PURPOSE Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is the main structural cause of central precocious puberty (CPP). HH is frequently associated with cognitive impairment and epileptic encephalopathies. Disease severity in case series from neurology services may be biased towards more neurologically impaired patients. AIM To perform a prospective cognitive evaluation in patients with HH presenting with CPP ...
