Spontaneous intracerebral bleed - Snake envenomation

Abstract

Snake bite envenomation is a commonly encountered emergency in tropical countries like India, with potentially fatal complications. Life threatening neurological complications is rare and infrequently docu-mented in literature. We discuss the case of 28-year-old gentleman, managed successfully for an intracerebral hemorrhage following a viper bite and attempt to obviate some management dilemmas often encountered in viperine envenomation.
