Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy precipitated by decompression sickness.

Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) is a relatively common problem after middle age,'-3 and is characterised by pain, segmental sensory disturbance, and motor deficits in the upper limbs. In acute cases, neck pain and stiffness are often present, and exertion or neck injury is the usual preceding event. We report a case ofCSR precipitated by decompression sickness (DCS), which we believe has not hitherto been documented.
