A scorpion sting caused disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), leading to stroke symptoms like hemiparesis. Prompt treatment with blood transfusion and supportive care resulted in a positive outcome.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Toxicology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Scorpion stings can trigger severe systemic reactions.
  • Neurological complications following envenomation require thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with right hemiparesis and altered consciousness post-scorpion sting.
  • Clinical and laboratory findings suggested coagulopathy.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited prolonged bleeding time/clotting time, thrombocytopenia, and prolonged PT/APTT.
  • Elevated fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) and D-dimer, along with cerebral hemorrhagic infarcts on CT, confirmed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Implications:

  • This case highlights DIC as a critical complication of scorpion stings.
