Abstract
Methemoglobinemia, especially observed in cases used lidocaine and prilocaine, is a condition characterized severe clinical. Prilocaine, is one of the most commonly used amide-type local anest-hetics in infiltration anesthesia, is also one of the most common causative agent of acquired met-hemoglobinemia.
In our case, 2 months 10 days of the child, we will provide management of methemoglobi-nemia as a results of circumcision with dorsal penile block.
