Lee, Choi, and Kim: Computed tomography of the brain injury in dysbaric diving accident

Abstract

Mechanism of brain injury in dysbaric diving accident is controverial but likely are due to arterial gas embolization. We reviewed 6 CT cases among 4 patients of brain injury in dysbaric diving accident and evaluatedthe role of CT. Among 4 patients, we can see diffuse low density in cerebral white matter in 2 patients, focal low density in cortical and subcortical area of right frontal and left temporopatieral lobe in 1 case, and normal CT finding in 1 case. And we convinced that combination of MRI and follow up CT is useful for the evaluation of neuropathologic process and progress of injury during management.
