• 

  Fig. 1. Unremarkable sleep electroencephalogram (done at 5 months of age) depicting sleep spindles.

• 

  Fig. 2. Coronal T2-weighted image (A), sagittal T1-weighted image precontrast (B), and postcontrast (C) magnetic resonance images demonstrated a lobulated hypothalamic lesion (arrow) occupying the suprasellar cistern and displacing the pituitary stalk anteriorly (arrowhead). The lesion showed a slightly hyperintense signal relative to grey matter on T2 and an isointense signal on T1 with no significant enhancement on gadolinium administration.
