AB  - According to the modified World Health Organization (WHO) classification, 
      mechanical valves pose a high maternal risk and complications for pregnant women 
      with heart disease. Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare condition 
      that can manifest clinically in several ways or remain silent for a long time and 
      can be either congenital or acquired. We present the case of a pregnant woman who 
      had a LAAA discovered several years after her last mitral valve replacement. 
      LEARNING POINTS: Left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare entity and, in most 
      cases, is congenital due to poor myocardial contractility of dysplastic pectinate 
      muscles.Clinical manifestations range from an asymptomatic course with an 
      incidental finding on echocardiography up to serious sequelae such as 
      cardioembolic manifestations.The treatment approach includes a conservative 
      strategy using anticoagulation and a surgical strategy with aneurysmectomy.
