Abstract

Different regional anesthetic techniques and several local anesthetics have been widely used for extremity surgeries. We may occasionally encounter some complications due to block technique or local anesthetics ranging from minimal to serious, even fatal outcomes. In this case, we report two incidents of convulsive attacks caused by two different types of regional blocks in the same patient at separate occasions which were alleviated with pharmacotherapy.
