Pelvic radiotherapy can lead to lasting bladder complications such as radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has emerged as a worthwhile intervention, enhancing tissue oxygenation and promoting neovascularization. However, hyperbaric oxygen therapy carries the risk of seizures, particularly with prolonged exposure to elevated pressures. In this case report, we describe a case of new-onset seizure occurrence in an 88-year-old patient during their first session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treatment of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis, highlighting the complexities of balancing therapeutic benefits with potential neurological risks.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
