This 4.5-year-old normal development boy presented with absences. Hyperventilation: (a) blowing a windmill and (b) blowing into a glass with water. Note that he suddenly stops overbreathing, eyes open and staring, not responding concomitant with horizontal upper body movements. The termination is also abrupt. This patient responded to sodium valproate. (Contributed by Dr. Athanasios Covanis.)
