Özet
Ekstremite cerrahilerinde çok çeşitli lokal anestezik ilaçlar ve bölgesel anestezi yöntemleri yaygın olarak kullanılmak tadır. Ender olarak da olsa, uygulanan blok tekniğine veya lokal anestezik maddeye ilişkin minimal veya ciddi, hattayaşamı tehdit edebilen komplikasyonlarla karşılaşabilmekteyiz. Bu olgu sunumunda, aynı hastada ayrı zamanlarda,farklı blok uygulamaları sırasında iki kez karşılaştığımız ve müdahale ile düzelen konvülziyon durumunu sunmaktayız.
