Modified walking appendages called forcipules are connected to venom glands and used for predation and defense. Centipede envenomations in humans are relatively rarely reported; however, they can produce clinically significant effects. Most clinical cases are attributed to the genus\n                    <jats:italic>Scolopendra<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>Scolopendra dehaani<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>S. dehaani<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), the giant Vietnamese centipede, is the largest of the Asian centipedes.

Three months post-envenomation, the patient reported residual numbness and swelling and a relatively limited range of motion in the affected finger.\n
