Abstract

Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital cardiac malformation, usually diagnosed in childhood. We describe a case of maternal cor triatriatum diagnosed in adult age and its successful conservative management throughout pregnancy until postpartum. Due to hemodynamic similarities, we decided to treat the cor triatriatum sinister like a moderate asymptomatic functional mitral stenosis in this case. Clinical controls, regular echocardigraphic controls have a central place in the follow up of gravida with congenital cardiac anomalies. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first case of maternal cor triatriatum sinister in Croatia.
