RESUMO
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.
RESUMO
Majority of disappearing computed tomography (CT) lesions in India have been most likely linked to infectious etiology. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is among the common infections of the central nervous system (CNS) and seizures are the most common clinical manifestation. A patient who presented with seizures was evaluated with serial imaging studies, which revealed a small mass lesion that disappeared twice which is not a common presentation, hence this case has been reported.
