“…Other pathological conditions are frequently associated with Ondine's curse, including Hirschsprung disease and neuroblastoma (7,17,25,26,31,33) and brainstem disorders such as deregulation of the autonomic system (16). These combinations appear to be due to abnormal development of the neural tube and the neural crest, which arise from the neural groove during the fourth week of development (21).…”

Five cases of central congenital hypoventilation, Ondine's curse, were studied. The diagnostic criteria were: lack of respiratory autonomy during sleep, abnormal CO2 test results and abnormal respiratory monitoring results during sleep. This hypoventilation induced chronic complications, such as a pulmonary arterial hypertension and psychomotor and/or growth retardation. The other conditions frequently associated with Ondine's curse were: brainstem disturbances, Hirschsprung disease and neuroblastoma. Since other brainstem dysfunctions are sometimes associated with hypoventilation and because complications can arise, these children routinely underwent complementary investigations. Treatment was symptomatic. Assisted mechanical ventilation was initiated as soon as possible and carefully monitored. The prognosis for these children has greatly improved and some of them lead a normal life with nightly assisted ventilation at home.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is recommended as a serologic marker to monitor colorectal carcinoma recurrence. Elevations of CEA due to causes other than carcinoma exist and may lead to a misdiagnosis of recurrent carcinoma. We report a case of bowel sequestration with mucocele formation at the site of previous colo-colic anastomosis causing a mild elevation in CEA. The patient exhibited increasing CEA levels 6 years after resection of a sigmoid colon carcinoma with end-to-end anastomosis. Subsequently, computed tomographic and positron emission tomographic scans documented the presence of a cystic mass showing increased uptake at the anastomotic site. At exploratory laparotomy a mass lesion with mucus-filled protrusions was resected. Pathologic examination documented the presence of sequestration of a segment of the bowel wall with a mucocele and no overlying defect at the mucosal anastomotic site by demonstrating the presence of all bowel layers. After resection of the lesion, the CEA level normalized.
