ABSTRACT
The authors report three cases of methemoglobinemia diagnosed in premature. The new-borns presented isolated cyanosis. All explorations were normal. Diagnosis of methemoglobinemia was confirmed by a high blood rate of methemoglobin. Over dose of metoclopramid related to an error of its administration was noted. The authors recall physio-pathology, diagnosis, causes and treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia, while insisting on necessity of primary prevention
