"AAN Releases Guidelines for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy" - Ryan Black
Speaking at a press conference at the American Academy of Neurology, Cynthia Harden, MD, the director of epilepsy services for Mount Sinai Health System, and Elizabeth Donner, MD, of the University of Toronto, announced a new set of guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology regarding sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, or SUDEP. “There is an uncommon risk of death that people with epilepsy, and their loved ones, may not know about,” Harden opened in her introduction of the condition. “SUDEP is when someone with epilepsy but otherwise healthy dies suddenly with no known cause.”
