Recurrent acute pancreatitis in pregnancy
Introduction: During pregnancy pancreatitis is a rare and diagnosis is difficult. Cholelithiasis is the most frequent risk factor. Case report: A 26-year-old pregnant woman with abdominal pain, vomiting and low-grade fever. Hyperamylasemia and cholelithiasis was found and pancreatitis diagnosis was made. A second episode of acute pancreatitis was observed and treated with medical therapy. There was no foetal or neonatal complications. In puerperium a third pancreatitis occurred, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Discussion: Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is challenging and it may have serious maternal-fetal implications. Recurrent pattern should be taken into account when choosing the best treatment.
