Journal of the Association of Physicians of India. 2000 Jul; 48(7): 744-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/85986Neurological deficits can occur following viper bite. It is usually due to intracerebral or subarachnoid bleed as a result of depletion of clotting factors. A healthy 21-year old male developed motor aphasia and right hemiplegia within two hours of being bit by a viper. Brain CT scan revealed a left frontal lobe infarction. The possible mechanisms for cerebral infarction in this patient are hypotension, endothelial injury, hypercoagulability and vascular.engAdultAnimalsCerebral Infarction --chemically inducedHumansIndiaMaleRussell's ViperSnake Bites --complicationsViper Venoms --poisoningCase Reports
