The term SIOS is accepted worldwide since 1969. SIOS cases die suddenly and unexpected in connection with negative anamnesis. Necropsy gives no adequate indication for any cause of death. The principal characteristic of SIOS is that the death occurs while asleep. In general the babies are totally perspired. Most of SIDS cases occur within the first year of life: 50% of SIDS-cases occur before the 4th month s a nd 85% till the 6th month of life.
