Abstract

Botulism is a rare but serious neuroparalytic disorder caused by neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. While globally well-documented, reports on botulism in Saudi Arabia remain scarce. This review aims to summarize existing literature on botulism in Saudi Arabia, covering its epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, and public health implications. Understanding botulism in the region is essential for early diagnosis, prevention, and effective management of outbreaks. Strengthening healthcare preparedness and food safety measures is crucial to mitigating future risks.
