Prognosis
- prognosis for children who have breath-holding attacks is excellent.
- attacks usually spontaneously resolve after about the fourth year of life. In rare instances they may be still present until the age of 6 or 7 years.
- breath-holding attacks are not a cause of convulsions, mental retardation or cerebral damage in later life.
