A 27-year-old woman was admitted at 25 weeks of gestation with persistent nausea, vomiting, progressive epigastric pain. She had very severe hypertriglyceridemia. Her serum amylase level was elevated. An ultrasound<br />scan of abdomen was normal, with no evidence of cholelithiasis but there was perisplenic fluid accumulation. A diagnosis of acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia was made. With early conservative treatment the patient’s condition was effectively improved and she was discharged from the hospital 8 days later. After 12 weeks, cesarean section was performed due to previous cesarean section. She was discharged home three days later with her baby.</p> ER -
