Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a rare and serious complication during pregnancy, which can have a high
maternal mortality and perinatal mortality. Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy poses diagnostic and
therapeutic challenges. The most common cause of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is galls tones and
hypertriglyceridemia. We report a case of acute pancreatitis in a pregnant woman in her third trimester and
discuss the analytical and restorative challenges of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy. Even though it is a rare,
acute pancreatitis should be suspected in all pregnant patients admitted for non-obstetric abdominal pain.
Early diagnosis and good supportive care by a multidisciplinary team are essential to ensure good maternal
and fetal outcome.
Keywords: Acute pancreatitis, Pregnancy, Hypertriglyceridemia, Prognosis, Treatment.
