Clinical Significance of Mottling Rashes in Diving Decompression Sickness.
Aerosp Med Hum Perform
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Decompression sickness (DCS) occurs when dissolved nitrogen forms bubbles in the body due to rapid ascent, affecting divers and aviators, with cutaneous DCS (also known as cutis marmorata) appearing as a distinct skin rash.
- A systematic review of 31 studies involving 128 patients revealed that 84% had evidence of a right-to-left shunt (RLS) and cutaneous DCS, with some patients successfully undergoing closure of the RLS to prevent recurrence.
- The coexistence of CM and neurological symptoms was noted in over half of the evaluated patients, supporting the theory that CM may indicate a risk for more serious complications and urging a reevaluation of its clinical importance.

Decompression sickness describes the clinical pathology that ensues when rapid decompression from a highly pressurized environment causes the formation of venous and extravascular inert gas bubbles. Symptoms vary widely, commonly including arthralgias, myalgias, paresthesias, and numbness. Severe and potentially life-threatening pathology, such as neurologic impairment, cardiopulmonary instability, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, can occur as well.
