Epilepsy in patients with Hypothalamic hamartomas (HH) have a typical semiology (gelastic or dacrystic seizures), but there is also secondary epileptogenesis that can explain why some of them have “pseudotemporal” seizures. We present a case report of an atypical localization and clinical presentation of HH in an adult with a rare presentation of secondary epileptogenesis.
