Background:Neurotoxic Snake bite is an important health hazard that may lead to fatality in Bangladesh, particularly in rural areas. Epidemiological data point to ۷۰۰۰۰۰ incidences of snake bite resulting in ۶۰۰۰ deaths in a year. Despite the criticality of this issue, limited studies are available in the pertinent literature. Consequently, to bridge the gap and offer fresh insights into this domain, the present study was an effort to observe the clinical and demographic profile of neurotoxic snake bite in tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Methods:This research was a hospital based observational study which was conducted at the inpatient department of Medicine in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Thirty five patients admitted in DMCH for neurotoxic snake bite were examined according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ethical issues were ensured properly throughout the study. After obtaining a written informed consent, patents’ history was taken and physical examination was done and data were recorded in structured case record form. In the end, the collected data was analysed by computer via SPSS ۲۲. Results: Neurotoxic snake bite was most frequent (۳۴.۳%) in age group ۲۱-۳۰ years. The mean age of the subjects was ۳۲.۳۱ ±۱۴.۳۳ SD. Total ۱۱ Neurotoxic snake was identified and ۷ were Cobras and ۴ were Kraits. Difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in speech, double vision, and difficulty in breathing were found in ۱۱.۴%, ۲۸.۶%, ۵.۷%, and ۳۷.۱% of the cases, respectively. Moreover, all the subjects had Ptosis (۱۰۰%), ۱۴.۳% had external ophthalmoplegia, ۵۷.۱% had broken neck sign. Furthermore ۶۰% of the cases recovered completely, ۱۷.۱% recovered with complications, but unfortunately ۲۲.۹% of the patients died.
