An Atypical Case of Taravana Syndrome in a Breath-Hold Underwater Fishing Champion: A Case Report
Table 1
Several diving characteristics could be involved in the pathophysiology of DA during BH dives. Short surface intervals, high depth, and number and frequency of repeated dives appear to increase the risk of DA. Other elements as excessive hyperventilation before dives, intense physical exercise, and physiologic responses to the underwater environment could be considered as promoting factors.
