An analysis was made as to the sudden death in 48 infants and young children 5 years old and under, autopsied at Kitasato university over a five-year period from March 1, 1972, to July 30, 1977. In the same period there were 363 total number of autopsies. 1. Sudden death in infants accounted for 13.2 per cent of the total number of autopsies. 2. Males comprised 66.7 per cent of the total number of deaths of infants. 3. 60. 4 per cent of the deaths occurred before 9 months of age, with the average age about 2.3 months and the peak incidence in the first month of life. 4. Seasonal variation was not noted. 5. More than two thirds of the causes of death were due to "violent or unnatural death" (30 cases), 24.0 per cent to suffocation and 6.0 per cent to accidental death (mainly carbon monoxide poisoning). The remaining 18 cases were due to "disease or natural death", 14.5 per cent to acute bronchopneumonia, 4.2 per cent to acute heart failure, brain damage and ileus. Typical Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) was noted in only one case. In the respiratory infection (acute bronchopneumonia, influenza pneumonia and acute suppurative tonsillitis) there was a seasonal variation with a peak in the winter. 6. The forms of death occurred in the group classified as "suffocation" (24 cases), 62.5 per cent to choking (foreign bodies in the air passage: vomited milk and matter), 16.6 per cent to drowning, 12.5 per cent to smothering (obstruction of the nose and mouth with soft pillows and mattresses). We showed a relationship to a theory as to the mechanism between such suffocation and typical SIDS.
