Abstract
A 6-year-old boy with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's curse) presented with presyncope. Investigation revealed a diagnosis of neurally mediated syncope. This previously unreported association provides strong evidence that autonomic dysfunction is implicated in both these conditions.
