ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most common cause of death in people with intractable epilepsy. Probably, optimization of seizure control will prevent some of these deaths. Briefly, we integrated in this paper some data about the epidemiology, risk factors, etiology, and preventative measures in the management of SUDEP.
RESUMO
RESUMO A morte súbita nas epilepsias (SUDEP) é a causa mais comum de morte em indivíduos com epilepsia refratária. Provavelmente, o controle das crises epilépticas irá evitar algumas dessas mortes. Resumidamente, nós descrevemos nesse artigo alguns dados sobre a epidemiologia, fatores de risco, etiologia e medidas preventivas na SUDEP.
