The Ondine's curse (also known as central hypoventilation syndrome) is a rare and serious medical condition where a person loses the ability to breathe involuntarily, especially during sleep. The name comes from the myth of Ondine, a water nymph who cursed her unfaithful lover, causing him to die if he ever fell asleep.

Causes

Ondine's curse can be:

1. Congenital (present at birth): Typically caused by mutations in the PHOX2B gene, which affects the autonomic nervous system.

2. Acquired: It can result from brainstem damage, often due to trauma, stroke, or certain infections.
