Laryngospasm as a single manifestation of epilepsy.
The presence in the hepatic granulomas of eosinophils raised the possibility of Toxocara infestation. Larval remnants were not present within the granulomas nor was there peripheral eosinophilia or any other manifestation of larval migration-for example chorioretinitis.

متن کاملSudden death in a child with epilepsy: potential cerebellar mechanisms?
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder in humans. People with epilepsy are more likely to die prematurely than those without epilepsy, with the most common epilepsy-related category of death being sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The central mechanisms underlying the fatal process remain unclear, but cardiac and respiratory mechanisms appear to be involved. Recently, cere...

Convulsive status epilepticus as a cause of death in people with a diagnosis of epilepsy seems to be a relatively rare phenomenon from childhood until middle adult life, alth...

SUDEP is defined as the sudden, unexpected, witnessed or unwitnessed, non-traumatic, and non-drowning death in patients with epilepsy with or without evidence for a seizure, and excluding documented status epilepticus, in which postmortem examination does not reveal a structural or toxicological cause for death1. Where autopsy is not performed, and for the purpose of epidemiological studies, su...
متن کاملSudden unexpected death in epilepsy
People with epilepsy have increased risk of premature death, and their life expectancy may reduce by 2-10 yr. Population- and hospital-based studies have shown that the excess mortality in epilepsy is not entirely explained by deaths directly attributable to epilepsy such as accidents and drowning during a seizure. It is also significantly contributed by deaths from other causes such as cardiac...
