A team of researchers, several of whom worked in conjunction with the Center for SUDEP Research at Case Western Reserve University, recently had an article published titled “The incidence and significance of periictal apnea in epileptic seizures” in Epilepsia, a journal focused on epilepsy studies.
The aim of the study was to investigate periictal central apnea as a seizure semiological feature, its localizing value, and possible relationship with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) pathomechanisms.
