Pulmonary barotrauma is a rare but feared complication of scuba diving, with around 30% mortality.We report an uncommon case of pulmonary barotrauma complicated by arterial gas embolism with both coronary and neurological ischemic injuries after scuba diving.A 46-year-old-man was admitted to our hospital for acute coronary syndrome and stroke following a scuba dive.
