Ondine's Curse

A 6 months old Delhi child has been diagonosed to have Ondine's curse disease or Central hypoventilation syndrome...
Why I shared the news because its a very rare condition in which a person can't respire while sleeping... This disease may be congenital or aquired....
At the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, Yatharth Dutt’s parents and grandparents cannot remember the last time they slept for a full eight hours. They have been taking turns watching Yatharth sleep the entire night and looking for a blue tinge on his skin and lips, a sign that his body has run out of oxygen.
Ondine's curse is a rare genetic respiratory disorder with around 1,000 to 1,200 cases globally...

It is generally congenital but in rare conditions it may be aquired. Aquired cases are generally caused by trauma or brain damages.....

Stay safe... stay healthy..
