Abstract

Snake bites are very common in India especially in rural areas. Empty sella syndrome is a relatively uncommon sequela of Russell's viper bite. Here, we describe a case of 22-year-old female who was seriously envenomed by Russell's viper bite at the age of 14 years. Diagnosis of hypopituitarism following Russell's viper bite was significantly delayed. We attribute her empty sella syndrome and hypopituitarism to Russell's viper envenoming.
