Cutis marmorata as a manifestation of decompression illness
We present imagines of skin lesions due to a decompression illness (known as cutis marmorata). These alterations are usually transient, but they could be a warning sign of a more severe manifestation of decompression illness.

Hyperacute brain magnetic resonance imaging of decompression illness in a commercial breath‐hold diver [PDF]
Decompression illness in breath‐hold diving is a rare dysbaric disease mainly characterized by stroke‐like neurological disorders. The early use of DWI‐MRI combined with ADC map in suspected cases can help in the early diagnosis and treatment.

Comments on unresponsive decompression illness case [PDF]
We have read the case report about a decompression sickness that was unresponsive to hyperbaric oxygen treatment in your journal. Presented case is intriguing; however, we think there are some contradictive issues in the discussion of the case.

Decompression illness with hypovolemic shock and neurological failure symptoms after two risky dives: a case report. [PDF]
Hypovolemia is known to be a predisposing factor of decompression illness (DCI) while diving. The typical clinically impressive neurological symptoms of DCI may distract from other symptoms such as an incipient hypovolemic shock.

The risk of decompression illness in breath-hold divers: a systematic review. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION Breath-hold (BH) diving has known risks, for example drowning, pulmonary oedema of immersion and barotrauma. There is also the risk of decompression illness (DCI) from decompression sickness (DCS) and/or arterial gas embolism (AGE).

Decompression Illness in a Scuba Diver With Significant Esophageal Injury. [PDF]
Scuba divers are at risk of decompression illness, of which arterial gas embolism is the most feared consequence. Severe complications involving the gastrointestinal tract are rare. In this report, we describe a case of an experienced scuba diver who was
