Mallory-Weiss syndrome (MWS) is a well-defined entity in clinical medicine. However, the development of such a syndrome as a result of overpressure barotrauma of the stomach after repeated shallow-water scuba dives is rare. Also rare is the delayed onset of the MWS, approximately 20 hours after the dives. The causes of development of MWS in connection with scuba diving are discussed. The main causes seem to be the repeated changes of gas volume in the stomach with subsequent pressure forces toward the cardia in the course of repeated dives. The possibility of serious diving accident due to overpressure barotrauma of gastro-intestinal system is also pointed out.
马洛里-魏斯综合征(MWS)在临床医学中是一个明确的病症。然而,因反复进行浅水水肺潜水后胃内压力性气压伤导致该综合征的情况较为罕见。MWS延迟发作,即在潜水后约20小时才出现,这种情况也很罕见。本文讨论了与水肺潜水相关的MWS发病原因。主要原因似乎是在反复潜水过程中,胃内气体体积反复变化,随后产生朝向贲门的压力。文中还指出了因胃肠系统压力性气压伤导致严重潜水事故的可能性。
