Abstract

Childhood epileptic syndrome characterized by early onset gelastic seizures, hypothalamic hamartoma and precocious puberty is well recognized though rare. We report association of agenesis of corpus callosum, Dandy-Walker complex and heterotopic gray matter with this childhood epileptic syndrome which is hitherto an unreported association. The child showed a satisfactory response to gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist. Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
