Abstract
The US Navy diving accident records of 2,500 cases for the years 1933 to 1970 were analyzed and sorted into Type I and Type II decompression sickness. Type II was further sorted into vestibular and other categories. It was concluded that type II symptoms accounted for 30 of the decompression accidents and it was estimated that the overall incidence of vestibular symptomatology was between 10 and 20. Nearly 30 of the Type II cases were diagnosed as having vestibular involvement, although almost 60 of the cases contained a report of a symptom typically associated with the vestibular system complex, e.g., dizziness and nausea.
