Ischemic stroke following a snakebite is a rare complication. We report a case of a 49 years old male who developed weakness of right upper and lower limb slurring of speech with facial asymmetry following Russell's viper bite. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain revealed infarct in the left middle cerebral artery territory. The possible mechanisms for cerebral infarction in this scenario are discussed, which were hypotension causing watershed infarcts due to hypovolemia.
Keywords:
Russell viper, Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct, Hypotension, Watershed Infarct.
