Lidocaine as a local anesthetic is the most effective drug for preventing and managing the pain associated with circumcision. Adverse drug reactions reported with lidocaine use are usually moderate. However, severe complications have been reported. The potential reasons could be the needle must be placed in a small vein or the body's hypersensitivity to the lidocaine. The ability to quickly identify clinical symptoms can significantly impact the treatment process. In this article, we report a case of lidocaine-induced generalized seizure and leading to a status epilepticus in a 6-month-old boy requiring endotracheal intubation.
