Resumen
MARIN-GOMEZ, Lizeth y ZULIANI-ARANGO, Liliana Adela. Ondina syndrome (congenital central hypoventilation) a threat against life when sleeping. Iatreia [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.3, pp.243-247. ISSN 0121-0793. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.20.
Ondina syndrome, or congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, is a rare neurological disease in which there is a failure in the control of ventilation in the central nervous system, which leads to hypoxia and hypercapnia leading to neurodevelopmental problems and ultimately to death. It can represent a very painful situation for the family of patients who suffer from it, awakening feelings that are difficult to face. Thus, it is important to have adequate knowledge of this condition in order to have an impact on the decrease of its incidence.
