"Unraveling the Mystery: Crib Videos Shed Light on Toddler Deaths"
Researchers at NYU Langone Health have found that seizures may be responsible for some cases of sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC) in toddlers, based on an analysis of crib videos from families whose children died from SUDC. The study, published in Neurology, revealed that brief seizures occurred within 30 minutes of each child's death, shedding light on a potential cause for these tragic events. While the findings are concerning, experts emphasize that seizures in toddlers and SUDC cases are rare, and there are no obvious warning signs. Further research is needed to understand the frequency of seizures in sleep-related deaths in toddlers and other age groups.
