dc.description.abstractThe incidence of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in Our epilepsy unit over an 8-year period was analyzed to determine a possible association between phase of the moon and SUDEP. Analysis revealed that the number of SUDEPs was highest in full moon (70%), followed by waxing moon (20%) and new moon (10%). No SUDEPs Occurred during the waning cycle. These preliminary findings suggest that the full moon appears to correlate with SUDEP. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
