An adult manifested a tetrad of neurobehavioral findings consisting of episodic rage, emotional lability, hyperphagia with obesity, and memory impairment with intellectual decline following surgical removal of a craniopharyngioma. Post-mortem investigation of the topography of the lesion as well as review of previously reported cases suggest that this tetrad represents a specific neurobehavioral syndrome referable to damage to the ventromedial hypothalamus.
一位成年人表现出一系列神经行为学发现，包括阵发性愤怒、情绪不稳定、食欲过盛伴肥胖，以及智力下降伴记忆力减退，这些症状均在颅咽管瘤切除手术后出现。对病变部位的解剖学研究以及对先前报道病例的回顾表明，这一系列表现代表了一种特定的神经行为综合征，可归因于腹内侧下丘脑损伤。
