Case Reports[Toxicity of topical administration of lidocaine].
It is frequently described in international literature the possibility of toxicity by local anesthesics. The lidocaine is one of them. ⋯ We want to describe a case of toxicity by topical administration of lidocaine (Xylocain) which caused neurological disease with convulsions, and cardiological disease with ventricular fibrillation, in a patient who came for a thyroplasty. Patient's evolution was satisfactory.
