摘要: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected of an under age 1 year, where a complete autopsy, including scene investigation, fails to reveal cause death. Although frequency SIDS has decreased almost 50% over past 10 years, it remains leading in infants aged 6 months. diagnosis exclusion and requires elimination wide range possible causes, asphyxia, poisoning, abuse, occult heart disease, other natural disease processes. In this report, we describe case initially suspected be which autopsy revealed optic pathway glioma (optic or hypothalamic glioma) stigmata neurofibromatosis type I.
