This case describes a pregnant patient who presented prior to delivery with an unspecified cardiac condition that was determined to be severe mitral stenosis Although a scheduled cesarean section was planned, the patient presented prior to the planned procedure in active labor with uncontrolled pain. Management of this patient, the pathophysiology of mitral stenosis, and considerations relevant to this condition in pregnancy are discussed.
