Local anesthetic intoxication is an uncommon complication of regional anesthesia. We report the case of a 4-month-old infant who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizure complicated by cardiac arrest secondary to a severe intoxication to local anesthesia. These complications were observed after a bilateral dorsal penile nerve block with lidocaine for circumcision in a non-hospital setting. This report emphasizes the potential risk of local anesthetic systemic toxicity in such circumstances and describes its treatment. . L'intoxication est une complication rare de l'anesthésie locorégionale. Nous rapportons le cas d'un nourrisson de 4 mois ayant présenté une crise convulsive tonico-clonique généralisée compliquée d'un arrêt respiratoire secondaire à une intoxication grave aux anesthésiques locaux à l'occasion d'un bloc pénien dorsal bilatéral avec de la lidocaïne pour une circoncision réalisée hors du milieu hospitalier. Le but de ce travail est de souligner le risque potentiel de toxicité systémique des anesthésiques locaux utilisés dans ces circonstances particulières et de préciser leur prise en charge.
