Though it is one of the most common causes of death in epilepsy patients, SUDEP is still infrequently and even reluctantly named on autopsy reports.
Expanding on the 1990 book Epilepsy and Sudden Death, edited by Lathers and Schraeder.
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy Forensic and Clinical Issues reviews the basic science of epilepsy as it relates to SUDEP.
Adopting a global, multidisciplinary focus to address the mystery of SUDEP, this important work provides clinicians, researchers, patients and families with the knowledge to freely discuss the phenomenon and thereby discover the preventive treatment regimes to decrease the occurrence of SUDEP.
Jane Hanna and Dr Rosie Panelli have contributed on the challenges in overcoming ethical and legal communication barriers in SUDEP.
