    AbstractSnake bite is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in India with an estimated 35 000-50 000 fatal bites occurring annually. Neurological deficits following vasculotoxic snake bite are either due to intracranial haemorrhage or subarachnoid bleed as a result of consumption coagulopathy. However, ischaemic strokes and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis have been reported occasionally. We hereby report a case of snake bite leading to leucoencephalopathy.
