The phenomenon of gelastic epilepsy was first described in 1873, yet fewer than 100 patients with this disorder have been reported on to date. The purpose of this article is to report on the first two patients to our knowledge with the onset of these seizures in the immediate neonatal period. Both patients have been shown to have posterior hypothalamic mass lesions presumably of congenital origin, and have remained free of neurologic progression of the disease with conservative treatment.
1873年首次描述了笑性癫痫现象，然而迄今为止报道的患有这种疾病的患者不到100例。本文的目的是报告据我们所知最初两名在新生儿期即刻出现这些发作的患者。两名患者均显示有推测为先天性起源的下丘脑后部肿块病变，并且通过保守治疗疾病未出现神经学进展。
