Abstract
Scorpion envenomation (SE) remains a public health problem in Morocco, with a severity of lesions and a mortality rate correlated with a young age. These bites are harmless in most cases, but sometimes have serious clinical sequelae that can go as far as death. Severity is greater in children under 15 years old and morality is particularly important in children under 6 years old. Such bites can have serious clinical sequelae including cardiovascular damage: myocardial infarction, acute pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock and even death. We report the case of a SE causing a fatal cardiac complication in a 50 year old patient.
