Abstract
ABSTRACT:Cough syncope is a more common complication of childhood asthma than formerly recognized. We report twelve children with typical cough syncope who were identified in a pediatric clinic over a period spanning seven years. The condition may be confused with epilepsy because of frequently associated brief clonic convulsive movements during the height of the cerebral anoxia. Cough syncope is readily distinguished from epilepsy by a thorough history. The management and prevention of cough syncope is directed at the aggressive control of bronchospasm in children with asthma.
