[Change in the character of fatal outcomes in epilepsy under the influence of modern therapy].
The results of 151 autopsies are analysed depending on the methods of treatment of epileptic patients in separate periods from 1952 up to 1974. It is established that comprehensive therapeutical methods and prophylaxis of an epileptic status have led to a qualitative change of causes of lethal outcomes--a decrease of a number of lethal cases in an epileptic status and an increase of the number of deaths from intercurrent diseases on the background of an increase of duration of the patient's life. The assumption is made that in lethal cases in an epileptic seizure pathology of cardiac muscle plays a great role.
