Abstract :Brugada syndrome (BS) is an autosomal-dominant inherited genetic disorder characterized by mutations in cardiac sodium-channel genes, characteristic changes in electrocardiography (ECG) and associated with increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. BS mostly affects Asian races and its prevalence varies in different societies. Although it is a rare disease, it should be considered in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with the complaint of syncope. In a study, it was revealed that the main complaint in 28% of patients with BS was syncope. Here, we present a 19-year-old male patient who admitted to ED with the complaint of syncope and was diagnosed with BS.
