Prone, lateral, or supine positioning at seizure onset determines the postictal body position: A multicenter video-EEG monitoring cohort study

Epilepsies are associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to their underlying causes and to recurrent seizures. These seizures are a common cause of accidents and injuries. In addition, generalized convulsive seizures (GCSs, focal to bilateral tonic-clonic and generalized tonic-clonic seizures of generalized or unknown onset [1]) may lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), a major epilepsy-specific cause of death [2–6].
