Laughing seizures have been described in association with hypothalamic hamartomas and precocious puberty. Laughing seizures due to a neoplasm arising from the floor of the left lateral ventricle extending down towards the hypothalamus in a child with tuberous sclerosis is reported. This combination has not been reported before and emphasises the importance of imaging to diagnose such midline lesions in children with paroxysmal laughing.
笑性癫痫已被描述为与下丘脑错构瘤和性早熟有关。本文报道了一名患有结节性硬化症的儿童，因左侧脑室底部肿瘤向下延伸至下丘脑而引发笑性癫痫。这种情况此前尚未见报道，强调了影像学检查对于诊断阵发性发笑儿童中线病变的重要性。
