Abstract

Medical investigators interested in problems relating to forensics have recently published three papers [1-3], through which valuable data and insight have been provided regarding the possible etiology of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)-specifically from a stand-point of pathophysiology, including regional brain volume loss [1,2], adenosine [3], and hypoxemia related to compromised ventilation during seizure activity [1].
