RESUMO
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether divers with histories of neurological decompression illness are electroencephalographically distinguishable from non-divers. METHODS--The electroencephalograms (EEGs) from 68 divers with histories of neurological decompression illness and 45 non-diver controls were examined independently by two clinical neurophysiologists. RESULTS--The diver and non-diver groups were electroencephalographically indistinguishable. CONCLUSION--There is no electroencephalographic evidence for the existence of cerebral dysfunction in divers with histories of decompression illness.
