Abstract
The eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLAs) is an anesthetic cream frequently used by dermatologists for various aesthetic procedures on a daily basis. Although side effects of EMLA are usually mild local skin reactions, rare complications such as methemoglobinemia, central nervous system toxicity, and cardiotoxicity can occur. Herein, we are reporting a case of anaphylactic shock to topical application of EMLA.
