A diver

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Diving Medicine

Background:

  • Decompression illness (DCI) is a risk for divers.
  • Neurologic symptoms are common in DCI.
  • Systemic diseases can mimic DCI symptoms.

Observation:

  • An adult male diver presented with limb pain and neurologic deficits post-diving.
  • Initial treatment for acute neurologic decompression illness (DCI) showed temporary improvement.
  • The patient later developed a progressive multisystem disease.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with polyarteritis nodosa, a form of vasculitis.
  • The vasculitis presented as mononeuritis multiplex, mimicking neurologic DCI.
  • This case highlights a rare presentation of vasculitis masquerading as DCI.

Implications:

  • Careful clinical evaluation is crucial for diagnosing divers' neurologic symptoms.
  • Vasculitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of DCI.
  • This case broadens the understanding of DCI's differential diagnosis.
