Özet

Introduction: Ocular manifestations in snake bite injuries are quite rare. Although ophthalmoplegia following snake bites is not a severe neurotoxic complication, symptoms such as diplopia, dizziness, and ocular discomfort can be emotionally devastating for patients. We presented a case with bilateral diplopia and ptosis after snakebite and was recovered with the anticholinesterase therapy and antivenom.
