The disorder you may be referring to could be Gas Disease which causes
bubbles on the head as a result of the concentration of O2 or N2 being too
high.

Subject: Eel processing
Eel question:
Are there any food safety hazards unique to eels?
Processing would be Live &/or gutted and frozen.
I have heard vague mention of a disorder that (when alive) causes their
heads to swell up.
Any information would be appreciated.
