ABSTRACT
Snakebite is a life-threatening and often-neglected public health hazard with high chronic disability and mortality, mainly faced by rural communities in the tropics/subtropics. Stroke and neuromuscular paralysis are the most severe neurological complications. However, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis has rarely been reported among cerebrovascular complications. We report a previously healthy middle-aged Indian woman who developed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis preceded by features of disseminated bleeding diathesis following Russell's viper bite. The cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient responded well to treatment with antivenom and subcutaneous enoxaparin and had no demonstrable neurological deficits at three months of follow-up.
