摘要
Rapidly progressing descending areflexic quadriplegia with autonomic dysfunction in the form of hypertension, tachycardia, hypersalivation, sweating and lacrimation in the absence of proper history from attendants poses a challenge in emergency area. Neuroparalytic snake envenomation by elapid species has been known to produce autonomic symptoms and even locked-in states. Here we present a case of young male with rapidly progressing areflexic quadriplegia with autonomic dysfunction; with no documented history of snake bite who improved after antisnake venom and ventilatory support.
