Dieser Artikel fasst aktuelle Erkenntnisse zur vorzeitigen Sterblichkeit und Inzidenz, Pathophysiologie, sowie zu den Risikofaktoren und zur möglichen Prävention des plötzlichen unerwarteten Todes bei Epilepsie (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy, SUDEP) zusammen und bezieht Stellung zur kontrovers diskutierten Frage der SUDEP-Aufklärung von Epilepsiepatienten und deren Angehörigen.
