Abstract:
:A rare case of a patient with Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome associated with hypothalamic hamartoma is described. The English-language literature contains no cases of patients with this association. The clinical manifestations of this syndrome, those of hypothalamic hamartomas, and the appearance of the tumors on magnetic resonance images are discussed.

abstract::Cystoperitoneal (CP) shunting is minimally invasive and achieves a high rate of resolution on neuroimaging. However, in the absence of definite symptoms, shunting should be reconsidered, because some patients can experience shunt dependency after CP shunting. In this study, the risk of shunt dependency in patients wit...
