Abstract

Anti-Snake Venom (ASV) administration may cause immune complex mediated CNS demyelination. So far a few cases of optic neuritis following ASV administration and a case of Guillan Barre Syndrome following ASV administration have been reported in India. Movement disorder or psychiatric disturbance may be a rare presentation of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM). We present a 14 year old boy who developed chorea and weakness after administration of ASV due to ADEM.
