Respiratory difficulties are not uncommon during epileptic activity in all age groups. Laryngospasm, as an isolated manifestation of epileptic disorder, is a rare phenomenon described previously in only two patients. ⋯ All children underwent extensive workup and the diagnosis was made by sleep-deprived electroencephalography (two cases) and sleep study (three cases). All patients were treated with carbamezapine with prompt resolution of their laryngospasm.
