Abstract
Acute pancreatitis associated with pregnancy occurs mostly in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy or during the immediate postpartum period, mainly caused by biliary lithiasis. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 1000 to 3000 pregnancies [1]. Maternal and fetal mortality due to acute pancreatitis occurring during pregnancy has fallen in recent years thanks to medico-technical advances in intensive care units with better management of severe attacks and better management of premature newborns. The clinical presentation is often atypical in pregnant women and the possibilities of imaging and surgery are limited. Acute pancreatitis can be treated medically but surgery becomes necessary if there is no improvement under medical treatment.
