Stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation and resective surgery for patients with hypothalamic hamartoma.

CONCLUSIONS: For patients with small HHs, SRT provides similar seizure outcomes to RS with a less invasive procedure. Patients who underwent SRT experienced fewer and lighter adverse effects than patients who had RS. Patients with giant HHs were more likely to undergo multiple HH resections.
