The authors evaluated a new stereotactic radiosurgical approach in seven patients with gelastic epilepsy due to hypothalamic hamartomas. Stereotactic implantation of 125I-seeds into the hamartoma was feasible in six patients. At follow-up at least 1 year after interstitial radiotherapy, two patients had become seizure-free within 2 months, and two others had only persisting auras. There were no major perioperative or postoperative side effects.
