    Abstract:
    Inner ear decompression sickness belongs inner ear barotrauma. It occurs after a dive with factors of risk. The diagnostic needs an accurate history and physical examination which allows emergency treatment: therapeutic recompression, then hyperbaric oxygen and perfusions of vasodilators + corticoids. The symptomatology is mainly vestibular and the discussion between peripheric and/or central lesions is still open.
