- Authors
Roncati, Luca; Piscioli, Francesco
- Abstract
This article discusses sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and the importance of thorough investigations to determine the cause of death and absolve the mother of any responsibility. The article highlights the various tests that must be conducted, including autopsies, scene investigations, medical history reviews, toxicology screenings, and genetic analyses. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive examination of the brain, particularly the respiratory centers in the brainstem, to identify any developmental alterations that may provide an explanation for unexplained deaths. The article concludes by suggesting that current medical literature and consultation with relevant medical professionals should be consulted for the most up-to-date information on the examination of the nervous centers that control vital activities.
