Affective-respiratory attacks are episodic occurrences of apnea in children, sometimes accompanied by loss of consciousness and convulsions. ARP occurs in approximately 5% of the population, with an equal distribution between boys and girls. It most often occurs in children aged 6 to 18 months and is usually not seen after 5 years of age.
