Uncommon Presentation of Snake Bite
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
A 26 years male patient was presented to us two days after snakebite on forehead. Few hours subsequently to bite he developed neuromuscular weakness with difficulty in breathing requiring mechanical ventilatory support. He had bilateral total areflexia, bilateral mute planters reflex with hypotonia of all extremities and ptosis without any sensory involvement. His biochemical, Hematological and Electrophysiolological features are suggestive of Gullain Barre syndrome following snakebite. This is a very unusual complication following snakebite and has therapeutic and prognostic significance.
