Figure 1 Classification of sessile hypothalamic hamartoma. (Modified by Choi et al[27] from that proposed by Delalande et al[26]). The hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) were divided into four categories based on MRI findings demonstrating the relationship between the hamartoma and hypothalamus or the third ventricle. A large hamartoma (> 20 mm) was defined as a giant HH (Type IV). Small HHs (< 20 mm) were classified as midline (Type I), lateral (Type II), and intraventricular (Type III) according to their relative location to the third ventricle. MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging.
