Devendra Mishra1, Monica Juneja2, Taruna Chutani3, Debashish Chowdhury4.   

Abstract

Gelastic seizures, characterized by epileptic laughter, are rare and the majority is associated with hypothalamic hamartomas. We report a case with cryptogenic Gelastic seizure (without hypothalamic hamartoma), as the MRI was normal and, EEG and clinical data suggested a focal origin of the seizures.
