    Abstract:
    The case report is a woman 45 years old from a rural zone of the Federal District (Mexico City) with subvalvular mitral aneurysm of probable chagasic origin. Its main clinic manifestation was caused by the presence of recurrent ventricular arrhythmias refractory to medical treatment. The diagnosis was made by means of the serology, echocardiography, cineangiography and endocardial biopsy. The treatment consisted in the surgical resection of the aneurysm with successful evolution.
