To describe the electrophysiological and cardiorespiratory features of a near-SUDEP event captured during intracranial stereotactic EEG monitoring.
Inpatient bilateral stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) and cardiorespiratory monitoring in a patient with medically refractory epilepsy.
Demonstrated extensive cortical and subcortical postictal electroencephalography suppression (PGES) accompanied by postictal apnea.
Identified a transient return of deep cerebral electrical activity that would typically be undetected on standard scalp-EEG recording.

Implication

Case report reveals profound postictal EEG suppression and apnea during near-SUDEP in refractory epilepsy, highlighting the critical role of impaired postictal arousal.
