Abstract

The article describes the case of a neurological form of decompression sickness, which occurred in the course of a short training dive to the medium depth using the air as the breathing mix. The subject was treated according to the 3rd air recompression table. Despite an immediate hyperbaric treatment followed by hospitalisation residual neurological symptoms remained throughout the entire observation period.
