Abstract:
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of epilepsy patients, which is an important reason for the significant increase of the death risk of epilepsy patients. The risk factors of SUDEP are related to poor control of seizures, nocturnal seizures, prone position, antiepileptic drugs, comorbidity, etc. Epilepsy death caused by SUDEP has become a major public health problem. The latest progress in neuropathology and cardiopulmonary pathology of SUDEP was reviewed in this article.
