Summary: 

Let X be an irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold and D a smooth hypersurface in X. It follows from a result by E. Amerik and F. Campana that the characteristic foliation (that is the foliation given by the kernel of the restriction of the symplectic form to D) is not algebraic unless D is uniruled. Suppose now that the Zariski closure of its general leaf is a surface. We prove that X has a lagrangian fibration and D is the inverse image of a curve on its base.
