Clinical alterations related to diving accidents are little known perhaps because of its low prevalence. They can be classified as dysbarism-related and non-dysbarism-related according to its relation with pressure changes. We present the case of a diver that showed bradypsychia and transitory aphasia after carrying out an immersion of 30 minutes in duration and 22 meters deep. A left sylvian cerebral infarct was demostrated in cranial computerized axial tomography. Treatment was carried out in a hyperbaric chamber with good clinical evolution. We review with regard to this case the different forms of clinical presentation of dysbarism-related accidents, as well as the usefulness of the hyperbaric chamber in their treatment. |
