Neurological symptoms after decompression from a dive are usually thought to be manifestations of central nervous system (CNS) decompression sickness (DCS). We present a case of DCS in which neurological symptoms are present but which the clinical findings, magnetic resonance imaging and electroneuromyographic studies suggest were caused by muscle injury and exacerbation of an existing peripheral neuropathy. This finding supports the alternative hypothesis that some neurological symptoms and signs in DCS are due to effects on peripheral nerves rather than the CNS.
潜水减压后出现的神经症状通常被认为是中枢神经系统（CNS）减压病（DCS）的表现。我们报告一例DCS病例，该病例存在神经症状，但临床检查、磁共振成像和肌电图研究表明，这些症状是由肌肉损伤和现有周围神经病变的加重所致。这一发现支持了另一种假说，即DCS中的一些神经症状和体征是由于对周围神经而非中枢神经系统的影响。
