“…The choice of anesthesia depends on several factors, including patient suitability (medical condition), surgical procedures, and preference of the patient, surgeon, or anesthesiologist. There is no clear evidence on which type of anesthesia is best in reducing harm and providing the best surgical conditions and optimal outcomes for patients (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Our patient preferred RA over GA.…”

: Brugada syndrome (BrS), a type of sudden arrhythmic unexpected death syndrome (SADS), is characterized by specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, a structurally normal heart, and susceptibility to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. General anesthesia (GA) is usually used for major surgery in patients with BrS due to concerns that some local anesthetic agents may precipitate critical arrhythmias. The majority of ophthalmic surgeries are successfully carried out under regional anesthesia (RA). The literature does not address the use of ophthalmic RA in patients with BrS except one report of peribulbar block for glaucoma surgery. This clinical case report and the liertature review suggests that for BrS patients presenting for vitreoretinal surgery, a sub-tenon block, with or without sedation may safely be used as a primary anaethestic technique.
