Each death is misdiagnosed as Ondine's curse, a condition by which seemingly healthy middle-aged men die in their sleep.

Most people with Ondine's curse do not survive infancy, unless they receive ventilatory assistance during sleep.

Persons afflicted with Ondine's curse classically suffer from respiratory arrest during sleep.

Other potential treatments for Ondine's curse include oxygen therapy and medicine for stimulating the respiratory system.

Victims of Ondine's curse also suffer from a sensitivity to sedatives and narcotics which make respiration even more difficult for the patient.

Ondine's curse was first described in 1962 by Severinghaus and Mitchell in three patients following surgery to the upper cervical spinal cord and brainstem.

Ondine's curse, also called congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) or primary alveolar hypoventilation, is a respiratory disorder that is fatal if untreated.

The disorder, Dr. Markowitz would explain, was also called Ondine's Curse, in honor of a mythological water nymph who was cursed to die if she ever fell asleep.

The tale is the basis for "Ondine's Curse," the historical name for Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), a severe form of sleep apnea.

Alex's antennae go up when, in less than a year, she comes upon two cases of death attributed to a phenomenon known as Ondine's curse -perfectly healthy men of late middle age drop dead of heart failure.

Even that might not be cause for alarm in real life but, in a movie such as this, Ondine's curse is said to be such a rare occurrence that Alex is prompted to look further.

It may also be preferable in certain rare conditions, such as Ondine's curse, in which failure of the medullary respiratory centers at the base of the brain result in patients having no autonomic control of breathing.

Ondine's curse is exhibited typically as a congenital disorder, but in rare circumstances, can also result from severe brain or spinal trauma (such as after an automobile accident, stroke, or as a complication of neurosurgery).

(Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Chapter 1, Part 2, Section 160.19) Common patient diagnoses for phrenic nerve pacing include patients with spinal cord injury, central sleep apnea (ie, Ondine's curse), and diaphragm paralysis.

Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (or CCHS)

Children with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome develop life-threatening episodes of apnea with cyanosis, usually in the first months of life.

Ondine's curse, also called congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) or primary alveolar hypoventilation, is a respiratory disorder that is fatal if untreated.

The tale is the basis for "Ondine's Curse," the historical name for Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), a severe form of sleep apnea.

Hirschsprung's disease can also present as part of a syndrome in Waardenburg-Shah syndrome, Mowat-Wilson syndrome, Goldberg-Shpritzen megacolon syndrome, and congenital central hypoventilation syndrome.

Paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) was confirmed in 2009 as the disease-causing gene in patients with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), a condition present in newborns.

A growing number of individuals are now being identified who present in later infancy, childhood, or even adulthood and are called Late Onset Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (LO-CCHS).

Patients with ROHHAD, as well as patients with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) have damaged the mechanism governing proper breathing.

Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS): This very severe condition of abnormally low breathing during sleep is rare and is an inborn condition that involves a specific gene, PHOX2B.

Disorders referred to as "Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome" or "CCHS" and "Rapid-Onset Obesity, Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, with Autonomic Dysregulation" or ROHHAD are recognized.

Dr. Weese-Mayer, SIDS researcher at Rush University Medical Center, said she wants to explore a possible connection between SUDC and a congenital syndrome that prevents the body from being able to breathe normally, called Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome.

One was primary alveolar hypoventilation, in which patients breathe without problems while awake but stop breathing when they sleep.
