Abstract EN
Hymenoptera stings are self-limiting events or due to allergic reactions.
Sometimes envenomation with Hymenoptera can cause rare complications such as acute encephalopathy, peripheral neuritis, acute renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, silent myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, conjunctivitis, corneal infiltration, lens subluxation, and optic neuropathy.
The mechanism of peripheral nervous system damage is not clearly known.
In our studied case after bee sting on face between the eyebrows with little erythema and 1×1 cm in size, bilateral blindness developed and gradually improved.
Lateral movement of eyes was restricted with no pain.
Involvement of cranial nerves including II, V, and VI was found.
With conservative therapy after a year significant improvement has been achieved.
