Summary
A 44-year-old self-employed male driver had been to Alicante on holiday. There he had been SCUBA driving down to 30 m. One week after returning from holiday, he developed a moderately severe headache. On the following day, the headache was still present. He broke out in a sweat. He felt unwell and so left work. That evening, he had a loose stool and vomited once at home. The headache persisted and three days into the headache he noticed blurred vision from his left eye. He went to an optician who told him there was swelling behind his eyes and advised him to attend an emergency department.
