Radiologic findings in a hypothalamic hamartoma.
This report presents a case of a hypothalamic hamartoma in a 4-month-old boy. Ultrasound demonstrated the tumor and its effect on the ventricular system. Computed tomography and ventriculography confirmed these findings and were complementary in the diagnosis. To the author's best knowledge, this is the first ultrasound documentation of a hypothalamic hamartoma.
