Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2010
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a significant cause of death for people with epilepsy. Recent research suggests that multiple factors may contribute and that both cardiac and respiratory mechanisms are involved. Both human and animal data suggest that specific genetic factors might play a role in some cases.

Sudden unexpected, unexplained death in epilepsy autopsied patients [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2001
Sudden unexpected, unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has been reported to be responsible for 2 to 17% of all deaths in patients with epilepsy. This study was conducted to determine the circumstances of SUDEP and the autopsy findings in these patients.

Structural imaging biomarkers of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. [PDF]

, 2015
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is a major cause of premature death in people with epilepsy. We aimed to assess whether structural changes potentially attributable to sudden death pathogenesis were present on magnetic resonance imaging in people who ...

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy genetics: Molecular diagnostics and prevention. [PDF]

, 2016
Epidemiologic studies clearly document the public health burden of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Clinical and experimental studies have uncovered dynamic cardiorespiratory dysfunction, both interictally and at the time of sudden death due ...

The Cerebellum and SIDS: Disordered Breathing in a Mouse Model of Developmental Cerebellar Purkinje Cell Loss during Recovery from Hypercarbia. [PDF]

, 2016
The cerebellum assists coordination of somatomotor, respiratory, and autonomic actions. Purkinje cell alterations or loss appear in sudden infant death and sudden death in epilepsy victims, possibly contributing to the fatal event. We evaluated breathing

SUDEP, the aftermath: supporting the bereaved [PDF]

, 2017
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is a recurring calamity, yet there is little evidence to guide standards of care for supporting the bereaved. Grief in bereavement includes loss, feelings of guilt, anger and blame.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in children

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2023
AbstractSudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy‐related mortality in children and adults living with epilepsy. The incidence of SUDEP is comparable in both children and adults; it is approximately 1.2 per 1000 person years.
