abstract="The author reports 9 cases of snake bite hand injuries in a regional hospital in the ivory coast. This study presents a number of particular points: patients often consult quite late; the precarious hygiene induces microbia contamination; patients often have a very poor conception of their body schema, which sometimes creates problems of understanding during reeducation. Treatment consists of emergency debridement under antibiotic cover of Iselin's &quot;emergency with delayed surgery&quot;. The good blood supply of the hand allows satisfactory functional results.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
