Brugada syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects the cardiac ion channels and predisposes patients to potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias. It may be responsible for 20 to 60% of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation during anesthesia. We present the case of a 25-year-old patient who had been diagnosed with Brugada syndrome a year before developing an anal fistula. He was treated at the hospital of Cienfuegos. Saddle block with lidocaine was used for surgery. Early diagnosis and the strategy followed contributed to a successful recovery of the patient. We decided to present this case due to the rarity of the disease and its delicate anesthetic management.

Palabras clave : Brugada syndrome; anesthesia, conduction; case reports.
