Abstract	Gelastic or laughter seizures have been poorly understood but are a classic seizure entity. Though rare, gelastic seizures have been described most often in association with hypothalamic hamartomas. No effective medical therapy is available to control these gelastic seizures and early individualized surgical management remains the mainstay. Current opinion on the pathophysiology, evaluation and current management of the poorly understood entity of gelastic seizures is reviewed along with various surgical procedures for hypothalamic hamartoma.
