Persistence of breath-holding spells into late childhood. [Case Reports, Journal Article]
J Child Neurol 2001 Sep; 16(9):697-8.

Their continuing occurrence beyond this age is exceedingly uncommon and may create diagnostic confusion. We recently encountered an 8-year-old boy who continues to experience breath-holding spells.
