Abstract
The magnitude of the problem of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy is unrecognized in both the medical and lay communities. This review presents information on frequency, risk factors, and theories about mechanisms and recommends strategies for prevention and for patient education.This publication has 62 references indexed in Scilit:
