What is Gelastic Epilepsy? Gelastic epilepsy refers to a type of epilepsy in which the seizures are 'gelastic', gelastikos being the Greek word for laughter. A gelastic seizure is defined as sudden occurrence of emotions in the form of a laugh or a cry. Usually the seizure lasts around 5 to 60 seconds. In most cases gelastic seizures are associated with other seizure types. There are a wide range of causes for gelastic seizures, and neuroimaging investigations (MRI) are often required to delineate the cause. A very common cause of gelastic epilepsy is a small tumour in the hypothalamus (area of the brain).
