ABSTRACT
A potentially serious congenital heart disease, triatrial heart is defined as a failure of the common pulmonary vein to connect to the left atrium during the early stages of embryogenesis. The anatomical consequence is the appearance of a fibrous membrane, occasionally muscular, which divides the left atrium into two very distinct chambers: a posterior proximal in connection with the pulmonary veins, called the pulmonary venous chamber, and a second distal anterior, close of the mitral valve where the left atrium is located, called the true left atrium. The frequency is rare, less than 0.1% of heart disease diagnosed clinically and 0.4% of congenital malformations recognized at autopsy. We report a case of a triatrial heart accidentally discovered at the age of 28 WA whose decision was the induction of labor but the evolution was a non-reassuring fetal tracing thus indicating a cesarean section.
