Summary
Investigators at the Roald Dahl EEG Unit, Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation, Liverpool, UK, review the definition, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of reflex anoxic seizures (RAS) in children. Home video recordings of epileptic seizures induced by syncope are reported in 3 patients with “anoxic epileptic seizures.” (Stephenson J, et al Epileptic Disord 2004 Mar;6(1):15-9) These authors reported a cohort of 9 children with syncope in which an initial anoxic seizure provoked a true epileptic seizure (Horrocks IA, Nechay A, Stephenson JBP, et al Arch Dis Child 2005 Dec;90(12):1283-7). Contrary to these reports, the above author (Appleton R), a pediatric neurologist for over 22 years, avers he has never seen a child with epilepsy as a complication of RAS
