Dead-in-bed syndrome unexpected death in young type 1 diabetic patients "with no history of diabetic complications, and in particular no autonomic dysfunction. They are found in an undisturbed bed, which seems to exclude death during a convulsive attack"[1].
This was first described in a series of 20 patients in 1991[2].
Etiology
Proposed causes include:
- Hypoglycemic unawareness[3]
- Hypoglycemia-induced ventricular dysrhythmia due to QT prolongation during hypoglycemia[4]
- Hypoglycemia-induced autonomic dysfunction which may lead to ventricular dysrhythmia due to QT prolongation[5]
Diagnosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis may be sought during autopsy by vitreous fluid biochemical analyses [6].
