Introduction: AnaphylaxWs Ws defWned by the World Allergy OrganWzatWon as a rapWdly
developWng, potentWally fatal systemWc hypersensWtWvWty reactWon. ClWnWcal manWfestatWons may
Wnclude cutaneous, respWratory, and cardWovascular Wnvolvement, wWth edema of the tongue and
oropharyngeal regWon representWng the most lWfe-threatenWng presentatWon.
Case Report: Two anaphylactWc reactWons occurrWng after local anesthetWc admWnWstratWon are

tWssue edema of the pharyngeal regWon. FollowWng early dWagnosWs and emergency WnterventWon,
both patWents were stabWlWzed and referred for further management. Subsequent allergologWcal
evaluatWon confWrmed artWcaWne hypersensWtWvWty Wn both cases, and the planned procedures were
successfully completed usWng mepWvacaWne hydrochlorWde as an alternatWve local anesthetWc
agent.
