Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. A report of successful experience with bilateral diaphragmatic pacing

M Coleman et al. Arch Dis Child. 1980 Nov.

Abstract

Bilateral diaphragmatic pacing was successfully performed in an 18-month-old child with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's curse) as an alternative to long-term mechanical ventilation. Subsequent complications were related more to cor pulmonale and tracheostomy care than to the pacing itself.
