“…3,[16][17][18][19][20] We encountered few cases in adult in the literature that had hemiplegia as a result of scorpion sting. 6,7,19,20 However, none of these cases have been reported to improve of hemiplegia with antivenom applied in late period. After being stung, our case reached the ICU 24 hours.…”

corpions, the most dangerous species of which live in North Africa, Latin America, India and middle East, are a threat to human health all over the world. 1 In Turkey, they are commonly found in warm regions, East and Southeast Anatolia and the Aegean Region. In our country, of the species, Androctonus crassicauda, Leurus quinquestriatus, Mesobuthus gibousus and M. eupeus from the Buthidae family, have been encountered. 2-4 The Buthidae family venom is the most neurotoxic one. Neurotoxic peptides in the venom are responsible for the symptoms during the intoxication. Systemically, pictures such as vomiting, increase in secretions, sweating, respiratory insufficiency, hypotension or hypertension, myocardial dysfunction, arrhythmia, pulmonary edema, renal dysfunction,

BackgroundNeurological complications following snake and scorpion bite are diverse. Literature regarding patterns of cerebrovascular injury (CVI) and outcomes among these patients is scarce. This is a descriptive study of the clinical profile, brain imaging findings, mechanisms of injury, vascular territory involvement and outcomes of CVI following scorpion and snake envenomation, in a tertiary care center in South India.MethodologyPatients with scorpion sting- and snake envenomation-related complications were retrospectively enrolled. Neuroimaging was performed on five patients with each envenomation, and they were found to have neurological involvement. On imaging, three patients were found to have a CVI. Clinical, radiological parameters and outcomes of these patients were studied. We also performed a review of the literature and analyzed the finding of all the cases.ResultIn all, three patients each had evidence of CVI in imaging. An additional 32 reports of scorpion sting-related CVI and 35 reports of snake envenomation-related CVI were identified from the literature. There was a male predominance among these patients. Mean age of the patients with scorpion sting was 42.8 years as compared with 33 years for the patients with snake envenomation. Features of severe envenomation were present in all patients. Persistently depressed sensorium and new-onset focal neurological deficits were seen in 70% of all patients. Infarcts were seen in 88% of patients with snake envenomation and 53% of patients with a scorpion sting. Mortality was 28% among patients with a scorpion sting as compared with 8% with snake envenomation.ConclusionCerebrovascular injuries are uncommon neurological manifestations following scorpion and snake envenomation. These tend to occur in younger patients. Infarcts are more common than bleeds.
