Decompression Illness with Extensive Gas Bubble Formation
Internal Medicine, 2013 A 32-year-old man presented with unconsciousness after diving. He had surfaced from a 50-meter depth of water within 10 minutes and his consciousness later became disturbed. On arrival, an examination revealed the cutaneous finding of livedo reticularis (Picture 1) and hyperhemoglobinemia (Hb: 21.8 g/dL).
