Snakebite cases do not always present with classical features of bite, resulting in delay in diagnosis and treatment with disastrous consequences, especially when bite occurs during sleep at night. Ptosis is the most common early symptom. Dysphagia, though not uncommon in cases of snakebite but presenting solely with this, is very rare. Here a case of a young man with complaints of only severe dysphagia without any history of bite is reported. He was treated as a case of neurotoxic snakebite poisoning and found to have recovered. |
