Abstract

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a serious problem, with an increasing importance, in recent years. It is responsible for 17% of deaths in patients with epilepsy. The risk increases with age. Particularly, patients with refractory epilepsy are at a higher risk. In addition, male gender, early-beginning epilepsy, polytherapy, nocturnal seizures, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures are among the risk factors. Respiratory, cardiac, autonomic, and brain stem pathologies are responsible for the pathophysiology of epilepsy.

Özet

Epilepside ani beklenmedik ölüm (SUDEP) son yıllarda önemi artan ciddi bir problemdir. Epilepsi hastalarındaki ölümlerin %17’sinden sorumludur. Hastalık yaşı arttıkça risk artmaktadır. Özellikle dirençli epilepsi hastaları risk altındadır. Ayrıca erkek cinsiyet, erken yaşta başlangıç, politerapi, nokturnal nöbetler, jeneralize tonik klonik nöbetler de risk faktörleri arasındadır. Patofizyolojisinde solunumsal, kardiyak, otonomik ve beyin sapı ile ilgili patolojiler sorumlu tutulmaktadır.
