Abstract

When faced with the multitude of definitions surrounding the infant who dies suddenly and unexpectedly, a paediatrician may feel as bewildered as Lewis Carroll’s Alice before her ovoid friend. In the accompanying discussion paper, Henry Krous, a well respected leader in the field of SIDS research presents a useful discussion of some of the issues raised by different definitions of SIDS.
