Subject: Strange DCS symptom: dilated pupil after dive

Last weeekend I experienced a pretty strange DCS (?) symptom:
I did dive on air to 69 m which lasted 30 minutes including deco
stops. The dive was perfectly normal, and for deco I followed my
Dacor Microbrain plus some more minutes at the last stop.
Ten minutes after surfacing I found that my vision was
rather strange. I stated that the pupil of my right eye was more
dilated than that of the left eye. I went immediately to the local
hospital where I was examined. During my way to the hospital
the symtom disappeared. The doctor who examined me didn't find
any neurological symptoms nor did I notice anything else like
dizzy hands or feet or joint pain. The dilated pupil lasted only
for about half an hour.

As anyybody heared of such symptoms ? I wonder if this could be a
coincidence.
