Congenital methemoglobinemia type II in a 5‐year‐old boy
Congenital Methemoglobinemia is a rare neurologic condition which can mimic other diseases such as epilepsy syndromes and leukodystrophies. The responsible gene, CYB5R3, is not typically included on commonly order neurologic and epilepsy panels. We recommend that laboratories include this gene on these tests which often precede larger-scale genetic studies.
متن کاملA 12-Day-Old Boy with Methemoglobinemia After Circumcision with Local Anesthesia (Lidocaine/Prilocaine)
A 12-day-old boy presented with duskiness 4 h after circumcision with local anesthesia: infiltration with lidocaine (6 mL 1 %) and topical EMLA cream (2.5 % lidocaine/2.5 % prilocaine). He had no respiratory distress, but a strikingly dark skin. A blood sample showed dark, chocolate brown blood with a raised methemoglobin of 49.8 % (normal <1.5 %) and a lactate of 10 mmol/L.

متن کاملDrug-induced methemoglobinemia.
The normal presentation of a patient with a drug induced methemoglobinemia is a low pulse oximetry (SpO2) reading, usually in the mid 80% range, while having a very high PaO2 on an arterial blood gas (ABG)1. We present a case where the initial ABG showed a very high PaO2 and a metabolic alkalosis while the SpO2 fluctuated (85% 99%). Those findings combined with hemodynamic instability complicat...
متن کاملBenzocaine-induced methemoglobinemia.
A case is reported in which a patient developed methemoglobinemia-induced cyanosis while under general anesthesia during surgery for multiple fascial space infections. The cause of methemoglobinemia was 20% benzocaine spray used for local anesthesia before intubation. Acutely developing methemoglobinemia is infrequently encountered in clinical practice. When confronted with cyanosis in the abse...
متن کاملMethemoglobinemia induced by chlorphenamidine.
A 76-year old farmer ingested 100 g of chlorphenamidine (Galectron), a plant acaricle, for the purpose of suicide. Gastric lavage was performed and the patient survived. Methemoglobinemia was noted after emergency treatment and was still present at 20 hours after ingestion of the compound. The patient was lethargic for at least 50 hours. Moderate neutrophilic leukocytosis and kidney injury were...
