Abstract
The incidence of Gloydius blomhoffii blomhoffii bite is one of the notable public health issues from the standpoint of rural medicine. The majority of the cases occur incident in the mountains and fields. The mortality of the snakebite is approximately 1%. We report a case of cerebral infarction that occurred 11 days after Gloydius blomhoffii blomhoffii bite. The patient was male. Almost all kinds of the snake venom contain the factor in causing blood coagulation and anticoagulation. We assumed that the snakebite induced cerebral infarction in him because he had no major risk factors for stroke. We reported here a very rare case of cerebral infarction associated with Gloydius blomhoffii blomhoffii bite.
