Smear technique in the intra-operative brain tumor diagnosis: its advantages and limitations.

abstract：:A case is reported of intractable epilepsy associated with a hypothalamic hamartoma in an 18 year old man. The patient underwent a two-third anterior callsotomy and, subsequently, removal of the hamartoma. Callosotomy did not affect the generalized seizure pattern. The authors believe this to be the first documented c...
