ABSTRACT
Encephalopathy following snakebite is infrequent. Neurotoxicity due to snakebite is well-known with varied presentation and fatality. We report a case of young male presenting with respiratory failure and neuromuscular paralysis, who later developed diffuse encephalopathy, convulsions and right-sided hemiparesis. Toxic effect of venom can be a possible cause for this rare presentation.
