Snake bite envenomation in tongue.

Snake bite envenomation has considerable medical importance because of its frequency and severity. An updated standardization of diagnosis and treatment conduct is essential. At no time did the patient develop respiratory insufficiency, neurotoxicity, or renal failure. Tongue damage rapidly resolved after early and aggressive treatment. The preserved tongue remained well perfused and viable, and tongue mobility was good. The aim of the present study was to describe a rare case of snake bite envenomation in the tongue, emphasizing risk factors, the patient's clinical evolution, and the importance of early, multidisciplinary treatment.
