The Brugada syndrome (BrS) was the last electrocardiographic syndrome described in the 20th century. The initial description included right bundle branch block (RBBB), persistent ST‐segment elevation in the right precordial leads, absence of structural heart disease, and propensity to unexplained syncope and/or sudden death mainly during nocturnal rest. Currently, we know that the first three components are not constant or true since RBBB is present in only 28% of cases, the ST‐segment elevation is dynamic, at times absent, and there are discrete structural changes in the right ventricular outflow tract. Additionally, the presence of RBBB can hide the typical type 1 Brugada ECG pattern. We present a very unusual case of spontaneous transient RBBB that revealed a hidden type 1 Brugada ECG pattern that could be seen in the beat with normal ventricular conduction.
