Anterior segment ischemia treated with hyperbaric oxygen.

Anterior segment ischemia developed in a 62-year-old dysthyroid patient after two-muscle adjustable suture repair of vertical strabismus. Because of a quiescent pulmonary tuberculous focus he was not treated with systemic steroid therapy but rather with hyperbaric oxygen in the controlled environment of our hospital hyperbaric chamber. He tolerated this treatment well, and his acute symptoms al...

Cerebral venous air embolism treated with hyperbaric oxygen: a case report.

We present a case of cerebral venous gas embolism. Our patient made a complete neurological recovery after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The principles of HBOT, compressing and eliminating air bubbles and decreasing Β-2 integrin function, thus improving microcirculation, can only be beneficial in a situation where neurological damage is likely. Retrograde cerebral venous gas embolism is a l...
