ABSTRACT
A two years old boy who had an attack of acute severe bronchial asthma complicated by stuporous consciousness and serial clonic hemiconvulsive seizures is reported. The most probable precipitating factor was the damaging effect of hypoxic hypoxia on both gray and white matters of the brain as evidenced by EEG, C.T. of the brain and blood gas analysis. Vigorous treatment of asthma could control seizures and prevented the further damaging effect of hypoxic hypoxia on the brain
