Pseudotumor Cerebri & SCUBA Diving?

Pseudotumor Cerebri & SCUBA Diving?


  Wife wife has been diagnosed with PTC and are concern about the affects on our hobby of SCUBA Diving.  She is being treated with Diamox and it seems to be working.
  Our doctor is trying to get us information as well, but any help or resourses would be appreciated

Dear James:
Given the added physiological stress that SCUBA diving places on the body, I would recommend that your wife abstain from this until her pseudotumor is under good control which can be judged by her treating physician. If her condition improves then I think that she will be able to resume this hobby.
Good Luck!
