The exact pathogenesis of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is not fully understood. It is thought that Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) may be caused by either genetic mutations, brainstem abnormality, airflow obstruction, maternal smoking, or infection.

It is thought that [[Sudden infant death syndrome]] ([[Sudden infant death syndrome|SIDS]]) may be caused by either [[Genetics|genetic]] [[Mutation|mutations]], [[brainstem]] abnormality, airflow obstruction, [[maternal]] [[smoking]], or [[infection]].

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is not fully understood. It is thought that Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) may be caused by either genetic mutations, brainstem abnormality, airflow obstruction, maternal smoking, or infection.

Brain anomalies

Genetics

Cardiac dysfunction

Triggers

Prone position

  • The exact pathogenesis of prone position and the development of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is not completely understood.
  • According to some new studies infant being in prone position increases the risk of infant to the following:
    • Suffocation of the baby
    • Decrease in arousal of the baby
    • Overheating of the baby

Gross Pathology

  • On gross pathology, the following features are characteristic findings of SIDS.
