A 3-year-old mare developed acute kidney injury, systemic hemorrhage, and neurological signs before euthanasia. Postmortem findings confirmed massive ICH with intralesional venom identified by immunohistochemistry. Delayed treatment and insufficient antivenom likely contributed to the outcome. This case highlights the potential for cerebrovascular complications following Bothrops snakebite envenomation in horses, which may present as subtle neurological signs. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd aAcute kidney injury aBrain aCoagulopathy aEquine aINIA TACUAREMBÓ aLancehead pit viper aPLATAFORMA DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN SALUD ANIMAL - INIA1 aDE SOUSA, D.E.R.1 aDE MACÊDO, I.L.1 aDE ALBUQUERQUE CERQUEIRA, L.1 aDA FONSECA, Y.N.G.1 aOLIVEIRA, A.B.1 aDAS CHAGAS, L.V.S.1 aGONÇALVES, G.B.1 aVEADO, H.C.1 aKELLER, K.M.1 aLOPES CÂMARA, A.C.1 aMACHADO, M.1 aDE CASTRO, MÁRCIO BOTELHO tToxicon, 2025, volume 263, 108408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxicon.2025.108408
