Subarachnoid hemorrhage following scorpion bite: Case Report
ABSTRACT
Scorpion stings are life-threatening and toxicological emergencies with systemic effects caused by autonomic nervous system damage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is extremely rare complication of scorpion sting. In this report, we present an unusual case of a 62-year-old male patient with scorpion sting who developed a complication of SAH. A high index of suspicion is vital for early diagnosis and prompt management of the complication because it is as a life-threatening emergency for patients presenting with hemorrhagic stroke.
