Area of Science:

Neurology
Toxicology
Clinical Medicine

Background:

Snake envenomation is a significant global health concern, leading to diverse clinical outcomes.
Leukoencephalopathy, a rare neurological complication, is typically associated with viper bites.

Observation:

This report details a unique case of leukoencephalopathy following a neurotoxic snake bite.
The patient presented with neurological symptoms, including effects on higher mental functions.

Findings:

The case demonstrates that leukoencephalopathy can occur even after neurotoxic snake envenomation.
This finding expands the known spectrum of neurological complications from snake bites.

Implications:

Clinicians should consider leukoencephalopathy in snakebite cases with neurological presentations, especially those involving cognitive impairment.
Early recognition and management of this rare complication are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
