Disorders of the Nervous System in Decompression Disease,
Abstract
On the basis of a clinical study of 56 cases with neurological symptoms in decompression sickness (caisson disease), the authors distinguished the following varieties: cerebral forms, spinal, neural and obliterated. In 2 cases which were attributed to the cerebral (with comatose conditions) and spinal forms of decompression sickness, pathomorphological studies were also performed. It was established that the main significance should be connected with circulatory disturbances and the peculiarities of vascularization in the pathogenesis of nervous-system lesions. (Author)
