Two episodes of Taravana syndrome in a breath‐hold diver with hyperhomocysteinemia

Taravana syndrome is a rare dysbaric disease characterized by neurologic signs and symptoms.

Our cases suggest that thrombophilic state due to hyperhomocysteinemia could increase the risk to develop Taravana syndrome.
