title: [The "choking game" and asphyxial games: epidemiological and clinical data].
abstract: Asphyxial games have been played by children and adolescents for generations. What seems to be more recent is an increase in mortality linked to the increasing use of ligatures and "playing" the game alone, as reported by the media. This article summarizes the current epidemiological and clinical data on the subject.
