DCS Type 2 and Frontal Lobe Damage

[Becon42]

I'm interested in information about DCS and frontal lobe damage. I have read some studies on this ,but wanted to know if anyone has had issues with this, knows someone or just has additional information on the subject.

Becon,
Can you provide references to the studies you've read? The only one I've come across is a 2009 study from UHM in which the investigators performed MRI on divers with arterial gas embolism.
Thanks,
DDM

There's very little in the medical literature about MR findings in people with DCS in the acute phase, let alone longitudinal studies to assess frontal lobe sequelae.
