| Core Tip |
Scorpion envenomation in pregnancy triggers a dangerous autonomic storm threatening both mother and fetus. We present a successful case of a multigravida at 36 weeks who developed maternal hypertension/tachycardia and fetal tachycardia after a sting by Parabuthus maximus. This case highlights three critical lessons: (1) Scorpion stings are an obstetric emergency requiring immediate fetal monitoring; (2) Early administration of antivenom is a safe and effective definitive treatment in the third trimester and rapidly reverses both maternal and fetal distress; and (3) A coordinated response between obstetrics, toxicology, and critical care is essential to prevent catastrophic outcomes like placental abruption or fetal demise. |
