Electrophysiological investigation of infants with apnea due to bronchiolitis or respiratory tract infection.

- Brief Summary
This single-center pilot study investigated whether or not apnea accompanying bronchiolitis is an ictal event. In 22 infants with a respiratory infection and apnea, eight were evaluated for apneic events not explained by simple airway obstruction by electroencephalographic monitoring. None of the eight patients showed epileptic apnea. We concluded that the majority of bronchiolitis-related apnea cases in infancy are non-epileptic.
