Sudden Hypoacusis Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Controlled Study

Idiopathic Isolated Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Cilioretinal artery occlusion (CLRAO) is a rare event which has been reported in association with various systemic diseases. We report a case of idiopathic isolated CLRAO treated successfully with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. A 26-year-old man presented with sudden, painless vision loss and an inferior hemivisual field defect in the left eye. Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed an occlu...

Healing with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Diabetic Ulcers Heal Faster With Hyperbaric Oxygen Diabetes is a disease that affects the small blood vessels in the tissues which results in wounds or ulcers that may last months to years. These wounds often develop from incidental injuries to the body and may become infected which can spread to the deeper tissues and the bones and may even require amputation. HBOT can help heal these wounds f...

Morphological study of rat skin flaps treated with subcutaneous dimethyl sulfoxide combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

This study investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in tissue necrosis, genotoxicity, and cell apoptosis. Random skin flaps were made in 50 male Wistar rats, randomly divided into the following groups. Control group (CT), wherein a rectangular skin section (2 x 8 cm) was dissected from the dorsal muscle layer, preserving the cranial vessels, lif...

Gas gangrene panophthalmitis treated with hyperbaric oxygen.

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...
