Abstract

To evaluate Breath-holding spell (BHS) and its triggering factors, 47 children with BHS admitted to the out patients clinic of Children’s Hospital Medical Center, between Sept 1998- June 1999, were included in this prospective study. Diagnosis of BHS was made for cases by medical history, Pediatric physical examination, EEG, ECG and lab findings. Four cases were excluded from study because of paroxysmal epileptic discharges at their EEGs. Of 43 cases having BHS (M:F: 1.15.:1), 74.4% were less there 24 months of age (mean age 18.4 mo). 77% of patients had onset of BHS within 12 months of age. Family history of BHS in first degree relatives were found in 51% of patients.Parent consanguinity were found in 30% of cases. The commonest type of BHS were cyanotic (79.1%). Pallid (11.6%) and mixed (9.3%) were other types. Pain and anger were the commonest triggering factors. 78% of cases were iron deficient and 53% of cases had IRON DEFICIENCY anemia.
