A 34-year-old male patient was preparing for splenic artery embolization because of a car crash. Personal or family histories of cardiovascular diseases, sudden cardiac death, or Brugada syndrome were denied. Type 1 Brugada pattern was observed in the preoperative electrocardiogram and gradually resolved within a week. Chest blunt trauma may contribute to the transient ECG changes, and some particular considerations should be taken in this patient.
Keywords: Brugada phenocopy; abnormal repolarization; chest trauma; dynamic changes.
