Se relaciona con los cambios de presión ambiental en la práctica del buceo y las lesiones del sistema nervioso central en la enfermedad no son infrecuentes. Presentamos un caso de lesión medular torácica severa por ED en un buzo. Resaltamos del caso los aspectos típicos de la ED para el fácil reconocimiento por médicos no especialistas en el tema. La prevención y la rápida instauración de la terapia de recompresión son los ejes de manejo de la ED.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT Decompression sickness (DCS) refers to the clinical manifestations caused by the formation of bubbles of an inert gas in the tissues. It is associated with changes in environmental pressure during diving, and injuries to the central nervous system in the disease are not uncommon. We present a case of severe thoracic spinal cord injury in DCS in a diver. We highlight the typical aspects of DCS in the case for easy recognition by non-specialist physicians. Prevention and prompt initiation of recompression therapy are the cornerstones of DCS management.]]></p></abstract>
