Is there any authentic case evidence or published case study example of snake bite causing acute Pituitary Apoplexy which was the cause of death?
There are some publications regarding the Daboia russelii causing a "sheehan's Syndrome" in bite cases. Typically in Myanmar and some cases in Sri Lanka.
