A typical case of stroke in SHRSP was presented, and respiratory death was confirmed on a polygraphical record. It was also confirmed that the cause of death in stage 4 was lower brainstem damage, which was derived from brain shift and massive brain swelling. On the other hand, the cause of death in stages 2 or 3 was probably due to pneumonia and/or other extracranial accident.
