Triauricular heart is a congenital heart disease that is mostly diagnosed during childhood. It may appear isolated or associated with another heart disease. The case of a pregnant woman who was diagnosed a triauricular heart ( cor triatriatum sinester ) on the second quarter of pregnancy by transthoracic echocardiography, was reported. The patient was mildly symptomatic and had palpitations. She evolved satisfactorily during the whole pregnancy and she was closely followed-up by the cardiologist. She had a transpelvic delivery. Complications were not observed either in the newborn, or in the mother.

Keywords : Congenital heart diseases; echocardiography; pregnancy.
