Oculopalatal syndrome with ataxia following hymenoptera sting.

A wide variety of neurological syndromes have been described following hymenoptera sting like encephalopathy, myeloradiculopathy, optic neuropathy, seizures, parkinsonism, exacerbation of multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, encephalomyelopolyradiculoneuritis and obsessive compulsive behaviour. While petechial haemorrhages, cerebral edema, meningeal hyperemia and intraventricular haemorrhage have been documented on postmortem of patients dying of multiple honey-bee sting, occurrence of clinical cerebrovascular accident is rare. Oculopalatal syndrome with ataxia due to multiple intracranial haemorrhages is an unusual complication of hymenoptera sting. We herewith report a case of oculopalatal syndrome due to bee sting perhaps the first case in world literature to the best of our knowledge.
