Abstrakt: The article from Medical Imaging Week discusses a case report from West Virginia University Eye Institute on ocular decompression sickness in a scuba diver. The report describes retinal and choroidal microvasculature abnormalities, including pigment epithelial detachment, resulting in visual disturbances and decreased vision. The use of multimodal imaging revealed choroidal ischemia, with the patient receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatments for resolution. This research provides valuable insights into the ocular manifestations of decompression sickness and the potential role of choroidal ischemia in its pathogenesis. [Extracted from the article]
