  • Cerebral complications, especially ischemic events, from snake bites are rare, with only a few cases linked to viper bites reported in medical literature.
  • Three cases involving severe envenomation by Cerastes cerastes vipers demonstrated extensive local swelling and severe systemic effects, leading to unusual neurological symptoms like impaired consciousness and hemiparesis.
