Cerebral arterial gas embolism in a scuba diver with a primary lung bulla.

We present the case of a healthy 27-year-old Caucasian male who presented following the second of two introductory resort dives with neurological symptoms attributable to CAGE. Investigations revealed a previously undiagnosed large primary lung bulla. This case highlights the clinical sequelae of primary lung bullae in the context of pulmonary barotrauma related to recreational diving activity. PMID: 31177521 [PubMed - in process]
