Classic breath-holding spells: These are a form of autonomic syncope frequently misdiagnosed as seizures. They occur in early childhood and infancy. They can be two forms: cyanotic and pallid. The cyanotic form usually occurs after vigorous crying, while the pallid form commonly occurs after a sudden fright or minor injury. The history of a prodrome of injury, vigorous crying, or sudden fright is key to distinguishing a breath-holding spell from a seizure. Parents can be reassured that no brain damage occurs and, in the presence of a classic history, no further workup is necessary.
