Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)
Serotoninergic Pathways in Sudden and Unexpted Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)
The mortality rate is increased in patients with epilepsy, and especially among patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. This increased mortality is mainly related to the risk of SUDEP whose incidence is between 3.5 and 9 per 1,000…
