Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common disease in nervous system, of which patients often present with spontaneous unpredictable spontaneous seizures. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is one of the most serious complications of epilepsy, and it is also the main cause of premature death of epileptic patients. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures, age and genetic factors are common risk factors of SUDEP. This article summarizes the classification of SUDEP and epidemiology, mechanism, risk factors, risk assessment and preventive methods of SUDEP to help physicians to understand the difference between SUDEP and sudden cardiac death.
