Abstract

Local anesthesia with prilocaine is a frequent practice in our country to prevent the pain during circumcision. Prilocaine, in turn, has been demonstrated to potentially cause methemoglobinemia in young babies and newborns. Herein we have presented a case of methemoglobinemia in a three-days-old male newborn hospitalized upon the detection of cyanosis and hypoactivity at the physical examination during follow up period immediately after circumcision under anesthesia with prilocaine. At presentation, the patient had no other sign than those of cyanosis and hypoactivity. Blood methemoglobin level was found to be %32.4, and complete recovery was achieved with treatment. Fetal hemoglobin is more susceptible to ferric state, and the systems to help the prevention of methemoglobinemia are insufficient in early periods of life. For these reasons, it has been discussed here that in young children other anesthetic agents than prilocaine should be used. In this case the search related with this subject has also been discussed in the light of literature knowledge and experience.

Özet

Üç günlük yenidoğanda methemoglobinemi; olgu sunumuÜlkemizde sünnet sırasında ağrının önlenmesi için sıklıkla prilokain kullanılarak lokal anestezi uygulanmaktadır. Prilokainin ise küçük bebek ve yenidoğanlarda methemoglobinemiye yol açabildiği gösterilmiştir. Burada prilokain anestezisi ile sünnetten hemen sonrası poliklinik kontrolüne getirilen ve fizik muayenesinde siyanoz ile hipoaktivite fark edilerek servise yatırılmış üç günlük erkek yenidoğanda methemoglobinemi olgusu sunuldu. Başvurusunda hastanın siyanoz ve hipoaktivitesi dışında başka bir bulgusu yoktu. Kan methemoglobin düzeyi %32.4 saptandı ve tedavi ile tam iyileşme sağlandı. Fetal hemoglobin ferrik duruma daha yatkındır ve methemoglobinemiyi önlemeye yardımcı olan sistemler de hayatın ilk dönemlerinde yetersizdir. Bu nedenlerle burada, küçük çocuklarda lokal anestezik madde olarak prilokain yerine diğer maddelerin kullanılması gerektiği ve bu konudaki arayışlar yeni literatür bilgileri ve deneyimleri ışığında tartışılmıştır.
