很明显，癫痫猝死（SUDEP）主要是难治性癫痫患者的问题，但我们对其预防的最佳方法的了解仍然不完整。尽管可用于癫痫的药物治疗已经扩大，但一些抗癫痫药物的临床疗效仍然有限。在本文中，我们描述了迷走神经刺激（VNS）治疗的经验，通过开放空间，并提供实施有效预防性地图的机会，以减少儿童和青少年难治性癫痫的SUDEP的发生率。
It is clear that sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is mainly a problem for people with refractory epilepsy, but our understanding of the best way to its prevention is still incomplete. Although the pharmacological treatments available for epilepsies have expanded, some antiepileptic drugs are still limited in clinical efficacy. In the present paper, we described an experience with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) treatment by opening space and providing the opportunity to implement effective preventative maps to reduce the incidence of SUDEP in children and adolescents with refractory epilepsy.
