Advances in hypothalamic hamartoma research over the past 30 years (1992-2021): a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a rare intracranial disease whose manifestations include gelastic seizures and precocious puberty. The diagnosis and treatment of HH have changed substantially over the past three decades as medical care has improved. Bibliometrics can reveal the evolution and development of a scientific field.

Methods

Documents on HH were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database on September 8, 2022. The search terms were as follows: "hypothalamic hamartoma" or "hamartoma of the hypothalamus" or "hypothalamic hamartomas." The types of documents were restricted to articles, case reports, and reviews. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix" were used for a bibliometric analysis.
