Gelastic (laughing) seizures and precocious puberty
M. C. Matustik, H. M. Eisenberg and W. J. Meyer 3rd
Gelastic (laughing) seizures are a rare phenomenon with fewer than 150
cases previously reported. These seizures have been reported to have a
benign course in children. This article reviews the small subgroup of seven
patients in whom such seizures were associated with precocious puberty and
adds one additional case. When gelastic seizures are associated with
precocious puberty, the patients often have mental retardation.
