Abstrakt: The post-surgical outcome for Hypothalamic Hamartoma (HH) related epilepsy in terms of seizure freedom (SF) has been extensively studied, while cognitive and psychiatric outcome has been less frequently reported and defined. This is a systematic review of English language papers, analyzing the post-surgical outcome in series of patients with HH-related epilepsy (≥5 patients, at least 6 months follow-up), published within January 2002-December 2022. SF was measured using Engel scale/equivalent scales. We looked at the outcome related to different surgical techniques, and HH types according to Delalande classification. We evaluated the neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric status after surgery, and the occurrence of post-surgical complications. Forty-six articles reporting 1318 patients were included, of which ten pediatric series. SF was reported in 686/1222 patients (56,1%). Delalande classification was reported in 663 patients from 24 studies, of which 70 were type I HH (10%), 320 were type II HH (48%), 189 were type III HH (29%) and 84 were type IV HH (13%). The outcome in term of SF was reported in 243 out of 663 patients. SF was reported in 12 of 24 type I HH (50%), 80 of 132 type II HH (60,6%), 32 of 59 type III HH (54,2%) and 12 of 28 type IV HH (42,9%). SF was reached in 129/262 (49,2%) after microsurgery, 102/199 (51,3%) after endoscopic surgery, 46/114 (40,6%) after gamma knife surgery, 245/353 (69,4%) after radiofrequency thermocoagulation, and 107/152 (70,4%) after MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy. Hyperphagia/weight gain were the most reported surgical complications. Others were electrolyte alterations, diabetes insipidus, hypotiroidism, transient hyperthermia/poikilothermia. The highest percentage of memory deficits was reported after microsurgery, while hemiparesis and cranial nerves palsy were reported after microsurgery or endoscopic surgery. Thirty studies reported developmental delay/intellectual disability in 424/819 (51,7%) patients. 248/346 patients obtained a global improvement (72%), 70/346 were stable (20%), 28/346 got worse (8%). 22 studies reported psychiatric disorders in 257/465 patients (55,3%). 78/98 patients improved (80%), 13/98 remained stable (13%), 7/98 got worse (7%). Most of the patients had non-structured cognitive/psychiatric assessments. Based on the available data, the surgical management in patients with HH related epilepsy should be individualized, aiming to reach not only the best epilepsy result, but also the optimal cognitive and psychiatric outcome.
