Anton's syndrome as a presentation of decompression illness. [PDF]
We present a case of a patient with Anton’s syndrome due to decompression illness (DCI) after recreational scuba diving. Visual anosognosia, or denial of loss of vision, which is associated with lack of awareness regarding visual loss in the setting of cortical blindness, is known as Anton’s syndrome (also termed Anton-Babinski syndrome).

Management of decompression illness
Decompression illness (DCI) occurs due to absorbed extracorporal gas resulting from a decrease in environmental pressure during decompression. This term includes both arterial gas embolism (AGE), where alveolar or venous gas emboli enter the arterial circulation, and decompression sickness (DCS), which may result from in-situ bubble formation due to ...
