Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Viper envenomation constitutes a medical emergency predominantly occurring in rural regions, where specific viper species are endemic, with their distribution influenced by climatic variations. The literature describes numerous complications associated with viper bites, including neurological disturbance, hematological abnormalities, and irreversible renal failure.

We report the case of a 65-year-old female patient admitted to the intensive care unit for viper envenomation characterized by extensive local edema. Diagnostic investigations, including laboratory tests and imaging studies, revealed the presence of a bilateral pulmonary embolism. The patient was subsequently treated with antivenom therapy, followed by initiation of low molecular weight heparin. Despite the recognized high risk of viper envenomation described in the literature, the patient experienced an uncomplicated clinical course and was discharged in stable condition with no further complications.
