摘要
癫癎患者可在没有任何结构性病理改变的情况下发生猝死,大多数癫癎猝死(SUDEP)可能与癫癎发作有关。其发生率在癫癎患者群体中为<1/1000人年,难治性癫癎组其猝死发生率达1/250人年。潜在危险因素包括癫癎发作未得到控制、治疗和监护不当等因素。其发病机制与呼吸和循环方面的异常有关,通过有效的监护可改善其呼吸状况。快速和过缓性心律失常/停搏在癫癎发作时并不少见,其基因易感性与SUDEP的潜在关系有待进一步深入研究。
Patients with epilepsy may die suddenly and unexpectedly without a structural pathological cause. Most cases of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) are likely to be associated with seizures. SUDEP incidence is 〈1/1000 person-years among prevalent cases in the community and 1/250 person-years in intractable cohorts. Potential risk factors include uncontrolled convulsive seizures and factors relating to treatment and supervision. Supervision has apparently protective effect on respiratory factors. Tachyarrhythmias and bradycardia/arrest are well documented. The potential association between coexisting cardiac inherited gene determinants and SUDEP is unclear.
