QUINONES CONEO, Kary Leonisa et al. Methemoglobinemia secondary to application of a topical anesthetic (EMLA). Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.89, pp.79-81. Epub 09-Mayo-2022. ISSN 1139-7632.
Abstract
Methemoglobinemia is a clinical syndrome secondary to the oxidation of iron in hemoglobin, preventing its adequate binding to oxygen. Subsequently, red blood cells are unable to appropriately capture oxygen and deliver it to the tissues, causing hypoxia. We describe a case of a patient who presented neurological symptoms in the context of methemoglobinemia as an adverse reaction to the administration of EMLA.
