Abstract
specie caused the widest range of symptoms, including altered consciousness, ptosis, hypertension, drowsiness, aphasia, and tachycardia. Stroke is a severe complication of snakebite envenomation. Regarding treatment, the articles included emphasize the use of antivenom serum; however, they do not go into detail about the specific management of cutaneous stroke due to a snakebite, whether ischemic or hemorrhagic It is crucial to develop standardized protocols for the management of snakebite-induced strokes and to conduct further research to identify the snake species whose venom poses the highest risk for cerebrovascular complications.
