title: Neurophysiological monitoring of acute neurological decompression illness.
abstract: Somatosensory evoked potentials recorded over the scalp in response to posterior tibial nerve stimulation may provide a useful means of assessing the integrity of the neuraxis during the treatment of neurological decompression illness (DCI). The neurophysiological assessment of a case of DCI is described.
