abstract="Decompression sickness in a 33-year-old SCUBA diver led to neurological lesions with brain damage. The existence of a patent foramen ovale detected with a transoesophageal contrast echocardiography suggested paradoxal gas embolism. This observation emphasizes the intest of transoesophageal contrast echocardiography in decompression sickness as discussed in the literature. Its widely utilization would permit a better understanding of the pathophysiology of decompression sickness. It also may help the physician in deciding whether or not to authorize further diving.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
