The aim of this article was to discuss what should be done in the case of a scorpion sting during pregnancy and the possible risks to the fetus and mother in the context of literature. At the same time a case involving a pregnant woman admitted to a county state hospital following a scorpion sting is presented. A thirty-five-year-old, Gravida 2-Parity 1 patient in the 12th week of gestation was admitted to the emergency department of the state hospital complaining of burning, numbness and redness on her right leg after being stung by a scorpion on the upper thigh of her right leg. Stage 1 was described as a mild stage. In this case, pregnancy was completed without any pathology development and with a healthy childbirth at term. Our studies show that although there are various, albeit insufficient results in literature, the probable outcomes associated with scorpion venom should be closely monitored. The literature on this issue is controversial and more detailed studies on clinical follow-up are needed.

Otuz bes yasinda, Gravida 2- Parite 1, 12 haftalik gebe hasta sag uyluk üst yan kismindan akrep sokmasi sonrasi sag bacakta yanma, uyusma ve kizariklik sikâyetiyle devlet hastanesi acil servisine basvurdu. Hastanin durumu evre 1 ile uyumlu idi. Evre 1 hafif evre olarak nitelendirilmekteydi.

Sonuç olarak literatürdeki farkli ancak yetersiz sonuçlar gösteriyor ki; akrep venomunun olasi etkilerine karsi olgular yakin takip edilmelidir. Bu konu hakkinda literatür verileri çelisir durumdadir, klinik takip açisindan daha detayli çalismalarin da yapilmasi gerekmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Gebelik, akrep sokmasi, tedavi
