Symptoms
There may be complete arrest of respiration for short periods, during which there will also be a marked lack of oxygenation of the blood. There may be recurrence of these attacks several times a day, and unless adjustments are given may last for weeks. There may be general convulsions and carpopedal spasms which are spasmodic contractions of the joints of the hands and feet. During the periods of arrested breathing the face becomes cyanosed. This terminates with a slight cough or a high-pitched crowing sound produced by the sudden inspiration of air. Because of this it is sometimes called “child crowing.” It is also known as thymic asthma and spasms of the glottis.
