TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Blindness and autonomic instability following Russell's viper bite - a case report JO - Ceylon medical journal A1 - Francis, Kingsley Rajivasan A1 - Jayamanne, Shaluka A1 - Premawardhena, Anuja SP - 123 EP - 125 VL - 67 IS - 3 N2 - Autonomic instability is a rare complication following elapid bites. Blindness too is a rare complication following Russell's viper bite and is most likely due to cerebral infarction or direct ocular toxicity. We report a case of a young male from Sri Lanka who developed both transient blindness and autonomic instability following severe envenomation by a Russell's viper bite.
