Abstract
Breath-holding spells (BHS) affect 0.1 to 4.6% of children. ARSs are most often observed at the age of 6–18 months, and are associated with autonomic nervous system dysregulation, delayed myelination of the brain stem, iron deficiency anemia. The article presents information from domestic and foreign literature on the features of pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, assessment and treatment of children with BHS. A search was performed in MEDLINE, PubMed, e-library using the keywords: «affective-respiratory seizures», «breath-holding seizure in children». The search strategy included meta-analyzes, randomized controlled trials and clinical trials, observational studies, and reviews.
