Methemoglobinemia may be congenital or acquired. While prilocaine-induced methemoglobinemia can be seen in newborns and early pediatric ages, it is a rare condition in adults. We aimed to investigate prilocaine-induced adult methemoglobinemia with four cases.}, number={2}, publisher={Prusa Medical Publishing}
