Focal XXXX induced by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

INTRODUCTION: generalized tonic clonic (GTC) @entity410 activity because of central nerve system oxygen @entity137 is a rare but recognized effect of HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy). Almost all case reports and database analyses about the relationship between @entity410 activity and HBOT point out that GTC @entity410 and @entity159 are more likely to occur as a result of the treatment and there are only few reports demonstrating partial @entity410 . CASE REPORT: an 87-year-old male @entity1 was admitted to our clinic because of tonic-clonic contractions on his left arm. He was under HBOT because of a decubitis @entity1066 . After repeated exposures to hyperbaric oxygen, he had contractions on his left arm. He was diagnosed as focal motor status. There was no evidence of acute @entity63 or @entity66 on brain magnetic resonance imaging. IV phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin) 20 mg/kg was given over 30 minutes and continued orally with phenytoin at a dose of 300 mg/d. He had no subsequent @entity410 . CONCLUSION: GTC @entity410 or @entity159 as a result of GTC @entity410 are more common than focal @entity410 as neurologic complications of HBOT. Partial @entity410 as a neurologic complication of HBOT have rarely been reported and to our knowledge, this is the first case which is characterized by focal @entity159 induced by HBOT.
