Abstract
OLEA GONZALEZ, Agustín; RODRIGUEZ RAMIREZ, Diego; MARTIN MARTIN, Silvia and GARCIA MIGUEL DEL CORRAL, Rocío. Raynaud's phenomenon and diving. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.4, pp.266-270. Epub Feb 12, 2024. ISSN 3020-1160.
Raynaud´s phenomenon is characterised by episodic vasospasm of the fingers and toes typically precipitated by exposure to cold or when you are feeling stressed. When this happens, blood can´t get to the surface of the skin and the affected areas turn white and blue. We present a case report of primary Raynaud´s phenomenon during a training scuba diving. A healthy 24-year-old Caucasian male made a swimming exercise on surface. After this activity he noted pain and skin discoloration on both legs and arms. A review of the posible diagnoses and fitness to dive in presented herein.
