Abstract
- Ophthalmoplegia following snake bite is a rare but not serious neurotoxic complication. However, symptoms like diplopia, blurred vision, and ocular discomfort can be emotionally devastating for a patient. We experienced one case f ophthalmoplegia following a snake bite. The patient complained of diplopia and ptosis that had developed several hours after the snake bite. The symptoms were completely resolved after pyridostigmine medication with antivenin treatment.
