Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare entity in the general population, with an incidence of 0.14 to 3.5% in open heart surgery; with a broad clinical spectrum and mechanical or electrical cardiac complications that can be fatal. In pregnant women this entity has also been reported in a few cases in the medical literature. We present a case of a pregnant patient with sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, its complications and the therapeutic measures that were carried out, along with a review of the subject.
