title: [Lung edema in scuba diving].
abstract: The management of a diving-related emergency is frequently a great challenge for an emergency physician without a special diving medicine training or experiences. Almost every physician knows something about the medical therapy of diving-related accidents which are combined with a barotrauma or a decompression sickness. But there are still some rare symptoms and organ affections of diving-related emergencies which are unknown in common. In consideration of the present case of an acute diving-related lung edema we discuss the different reasons and differential diagnosis of diving emergencies.
