Snakebites occur worldwide with varying frequency. Outcomes associated with snakebite are varied and depend on the type of snake and the general health of the patient. We report a case of snakebite by Cerastes cerastes or desert horned viper. Consumptive coagulopathy and cardiotoxicity with electrocardiographic changes complicated the clinical course of the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the state of Qatar.
蛇咬伤在世界各地的发生频率各不相同。与蛇咬伤相关的后果多种多样，取决于蛇的种类和患者的总体健康状况。我们报告一例由角蝰（Cerastes cerastes）即沙漠角蝰咬伤的病例。消耗性凝血病和伴有心电图改变的心脏毒性使该患者的临床病程复杂化。据我们所知，这是卡塔尔国首例报告病例。
