RESUMEN
We report a 37 years old woman with a severe bipolar disorder, that became pregnant during treatment with lithium. The patient and her family were informed about the 0.05-0.1 percent risk of cardiac malformations of the newborn, but decided to maintain her pregnancy and not to discontinue the use of lithium, fearing a relapse of her psychiatric ailment. She continued under medical surveillance and had a normal delivery, but no breast feeding was allowed
