Massive acute ischemic stroke after Bothrops spp. envenomation in southwestern Colombia: Case report and literature review

The MRI showed multiple ischemic areas in the bilateral frontaltemporal and occipital regions. Two months later, the patient had a favorable resolution, although central paresis in the III and VI cranial nerves and positive Babinski's sign persisted. As already mentioned, the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke due to snakebite is complex b...
