| Popis: | C. S. Kitchens , S. Hunter and L. H. S. Van Mierop . Severe myonecrosis in a fatal case of envenomation by the canebrake rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus atricaudatus). Toxicon25, 455 – 458, 1987. — Severe myonecrosis was found at autopsy in a fatal case of envenomation by Crotalus horridus atricaudatus. The degree and extent of rhabdomyolysis were independent of the site of muscle sampling, being no more advanced at the site of envenomation. We conclude that myonecrosis was not enhanced by increased interstitial pressure. |
