While ocular manifestations are uncommon, they can lead to significant complications such as corneal ulceration. We present a unique case of corneal ulceration subsequent to a yellow scorpion (Hemiscorpius lepturus) sting near the eye, a scenario not previously documented.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 34-year-old male sought medical care following a scorpion sting despite prior anti-venom treatment. Clinical examination revealed pronounced ocular inflammation, corneal stromal melting, and anterior chamber inflammation, with microbiological confirmation of Pseudomonas spp infection. Treatment comprised fortified ceftazidime and vancomycin eye drops, alongside topical corticosteroids, leading to visual and corneal healing.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This case highlights the urgency of addressing scorpion envenomation and its potential for severe ocular complications, including corneal ulceration. Prompt diagnosis and targeted therapy with antibiotics and corticosteroids are crucial for favorable outcomes. A comprehensive understanding and timely intervention in scorpion sting-induced ocular manifestations are essential for optimal patient management and outcomes in such cases.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12348-024-00411-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T16:02:14Z","timestamp":1719331334000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Corneal ulceration following periocular scorpion sting: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Shiravani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahmood","family":"Nejabat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alireza","family":"Attar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"411_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-5229.40944","volume":"12","author":"S Sarkar","year":"2008","unstructured":"Sarkar S, Bhattacharya P, Paswan A (2008) Cerebrovascular manifestations and alteration of coagulation profile in scorpion sting: a case series.
