Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to describe a case of severe systemic envenomation with cardiac arrest following a sting by the stonefish Synanceia verrucosa. Although the exact mechanism underlying cardiac arrest is debatable, cardiovascular toxicity of stonefish venom appears to have been involved. This case supports the life-threatening potential of this type of accident, a much-debated topic in recent years.
