Abstract: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy(SUDEP)is the leading cause of accidental death in epileptic patients.The postictal generalized EEG suppression(PGES)is related to SUDEP.The age,seizure type,tonic seizure/tonic muscle contraction,ictal and post-ictal respiratory dysfunction and autonomic dysregulation is associated with PGES with significant individual variation.Progressive slowing of clonic phase(PSCP)in generalized tonic-clonic seizures(GTCS)is an independent predictor of the onset and prolongation of PGES.
