Sudden unexpected death in people previously considered healthy represents an important challenge for modern medicine. The causes of this phenomenon are constantly being sought and attempts are being made to understand its pathomechanism. Among those at great risk are patients with epilepsy. Every unexpected death in a patient with epilepsy who was generally healthy in normal life activity and no other cause of the death was identified, is considered sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Despite the difficulty in predicting sudden death, special attention should be paid to those at high risk, especially affected by cardiovascular diseases and epilepsy.
