    Author: Wyder-Westh C, Lienert C, Pihan H, Steinlin M.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 2005 Oct; 164(10):648-9. PubMed ID: 15959802.
    Abstract:
    Respiratory disorders with stridor are a frequent cause of admission for children in an emergency department. Laryngospasm, as an isolated symptom of epilepsy, is a rare phenomenon [1, 3, 5]. Other respiratory symptoms of epilepsy, rarely seen in childhood, might be apnoeic spells [2, 4]. We report on a child with laryngospasm due to focal epileptic seizures.
