    AbstractBrugada syndrome is a common cause of sudden cardiac death. We report the anaesthetic management of a woman with Brugada syndrome for elective caesarean section of twins. There are few reports of this disease in pregnancy and we believe this is the first of elective caesarean section in a parturient with the syndrome. The characteristic electrocardiographic changes of the syndrome are linked to sodium channel blockers including local anaesthetics such as bupivacaine. The use of bupivacaine for intrathecal central neuraxial blockade as well as other drugs commonly used in obstetric anaesthesia is discussed.Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
