Symptoms And Signs

AbstractThe case is presented of a 17 year old commercial diver who developed symptoms and signs of decompression sickness after diving to 42 metres in a caisson. The treatment programme based on telephone communication with the Institute of Naval Medicine at Alverstoke is reviewed. A number of therapeutic Tables were used and of particular interest is the application of a modified Table 62(extended) whereby the patient was brought from nine metres to the surface over a three hour period on three occasions. It was of concern to the authors that the condition of the patient twice deteriorated after treatment. The treatment was stopped after no further improvement was noted on two successive days. On review one month after discharge the diver had made a full functional recovery and was totally independent.

Spinal Cord Decompression

Decompression sickness from diving is a rare but potentially reversible cause of spinal injury. Early treatment with hyperbaric oxygen is associated with a better neurologic outcome, making prompt recognition and management clinically important. We describe a case of a 65-year-old diver who presented with thoracic back pain and bilateral leg weakness after a 70 feet of sea water (fsw) (21 meters of sea water [msw]) dive, with no acute abnormality on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He made a partial recovery after extended hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of central nervous system injury in decompression sickness, as well as acute management and prognostic factors for recovery, including the role of adjunctive therapies and the implications of negative MRI. Ultimately, clinicians should make the diagnosis of spinal cord decompression sickness based primarily on clinical evaluation, not on MRI findings.

SummaryThis article reviews the pathological changes reported in spinal cord decompression sickness and describes the major theories of the aetiology of the disease process supported by the pathological changes reported. Recently eported findings are included which may account for clinical observations not adequately explained previously. Direction for research into improving therapy of spinal cord decompression sickness is suggested.
