ABSTRACT

Background: Pancreatitis is a rare complication during pregnancy, its incidence has increased in recent decades worldwide. This case is of interest since the condition presented with a difference of 23 weeks.
Clinical case: 33-year-old patient who attended the emergency service at 13 weeks due to abdominal pain in the epigastrium, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and general discomfort. Through laboratory assistants, an increase in amylase and altered liver function tests were detected. Ultrasound showed image enhancement. General measures were granted and dietary management was indicated. At 36 weeks, she presented to the emergency room with exacerbation of the clinical picture, which warranted hospitalization and interruption of pregnancy.
Conclusion: The diagnosis of recurrent acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is associated with a series of social, demographic and medical factors that are involved. In the search to provide greater security to the pairing, an increasing number of indications for caesarean section have emerged and as a reflection of this, a significant decrease in maternal and child mortality has been observed.
