N2  - A case of a near-fatal sea snake bite, believed to the the first such case in Australia, is presented. The two-year-old girl victim became unconscious and apnoeic soon after envenomation by an Astrotia stokesii, and required artificial ventilation for 22 hours. She regained consciousness 4 1/2 hours after the administration of antivenom. The recovery phase was marked by hallucinations and tonic spasms. The patient made a full recovery before discharge from hospital.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
