Hump-Nosed viper bite victim presenting with posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy followed by acute kidney injury

Nipun Tharaka Ranaweera, Ranjith Kalupahana, Gunananthan Karthick.


Abstract
Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy is one cause of cortical blindness. It is well associated with renal failure and fluctuations of blood pressure. Here we present a female with a recent history of hump nosed viper bite with acute renal failure, presenting with hypertension, focal seizures and cortical blindness. A clinico-radiological diagnosis of posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy was made and she made a complete recovery with resolution of magnetic resonance imaging.

Key words: Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy, envenomation, acute renal failure, cortical blindness
