case_images: A hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) session was conducted at 2.8 absolute atmospheres with pure oxygen for 2.5 h (Figure 1), and upon re-examination, no anomalies were detected. These sessions involved exposure to 2.8 absolute atmospheres for 2.5 h with Heliox 50%, following our established protocol for severe DCS (Figure 1).
case_images: (A) Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracolumbar spinal cord; sagittal T2-weighted images acquired 1 month after the initial diving incident reveal no abnormalities in spinal cord signal intensity. (B) Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine; sagittal T2-weighted images acquired 1 month after the initial incident depict vertebral degenerative changes and medullary compression factors (indicated by arrows).

case_images: T2-weighted hypersignal extending intramedullary from level T2 to T8 in sagittal sections (see Figure 3). This hypersignal affected both the posterior cords and the gray matter in the axial section (Figure 4).
case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracolumbar spinal cord; axial T2-weighted images obtained 5 days after the second diving incident display abnormalities in spinal cord signal intensity (indicated by arrows), with involvement of the posterior medulla and gray matter.
