Abstract

Two cases of barotrauma as a result of excess pulmonary pressure with subsequent air embolism are reported. Both cases involved serious diving safety errors. The morphology of this type of barotrauma is described, with particular reference to the etiology of the phenomena involved. Some specific points regarding the autopsy procedure in connection with such diving accidents are discussed.
