dsolve(diff(y(x),x$2)=(1+diff(y(x),x)^2)^(3/2),y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y &= -i x +c_{1} \\ y &= i x +c_{1} \\ y &= \left (c_{1} +x +1\right ) \left (x -1+c_{1} \right ) \sqrt {-\frac {1}{\left (c_{1} +x +1\right ) \left (x -1+c_{1} \right )}}+c_{2} \\ \end{align*}

DSolve[D[y[x],{x,2}]==(1+(D[y[x],x])^2)^(3/2),y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\begin{align*} y(x)\to c_2-i \sqrt {x^2+2 c_1 x-1+c_1{}^2} \\ y(x)\to i \sqrt {x^2+2 c_1 x-1+c_1{}^2}+c_2 \\ \end{align*}
