Introduction
Snake bites are a life-threatening medical emergency, with half of the global snake bite deaths happening in India, and have been included among the neglected tropical diseases of developing countries by the World Health Organisation [1]. The complications of snakebite, either neurological or hematological are attributed to its venom and usually include local tissue damage, systemic effects including shock, systemic bleeding, respiratory muscle paralysis, coagulopathy, neurotoxicity, and renal failure depending upon the type of toxin injected [2]. Ocular complications, however, are rare except for injury to the cornea or conjunctiva directly exposed to the venom [3]. We present a case of seldom reported isolated unilateral subhyaloid hemorrhage induced by a snake bite and illustrate the pathophysiological mechanisms that may link envenomation to retinal hemorrhage.
