Neurological complication leading to mortality after cyberknife radiosurgery for hypothalamic hamartoma

Abstract

Hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) are congenital abnormalities. They are mostly marked by epileptic seizures and shown in epileptogenesis. Stereotactic radiosurgery (RS), microsurgical resection, endoscopic disconnection, and stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation are considered as treatment options. Here we present a case of a patient with HH who was treated by CyberKnife RS and had a fatal course.
