Objective:Obun ischemic stroke is a rare complication of viper envenomation, probably multifactorial pathophysiological mechanism. We report a observation. Methods: A 55-year victim of a snake bite of the species cerastes cerastes, was admitted to the ICU in an array of multiple organ failure with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), rhabdomyolysis, anuria and elevated troponin. The persistence of impaired consciousness motivated a brain scan which revealed a bifocal stroke (CVA) ischemia. The evolution was favorable in a few weeks after discontinuation of heparin hemodialysis untimely and, despite the initial infusion of antivenom inappropriate (FavAfrique) due to late identification of reptile. Results: A snake bite is rarely complicated cerebral infarction: a series of 309 patients, only eight cerebrovascular complications (2.6%) have been reported, including seven of hemorrhagic and ischemic type one. The venom of the species complex C. cerastes procoagulant contains several proteins that produce hypotension, tissue necrosis, kidney damage and coagulopathy DIC type. Conclusion: Preventive treatment of complications of envenomation by C. cerastes based on the infusion of antivenom versatile Favirept ®.
