Resume

Acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is uncommon, with an incidence of roughly 3 per 10,000 pregnancies. Its clinical presentation ranges from mild inflammation to severe disease complicated by necrosis, abscess formation, pseudocysts, and multiorgan dysfunction. As in other pregnancy-related conditions, аcute pancreatitis presents added complexity because it involves the well-being of both mother and fetus. Gallstone disease and hypertriglyceridemia remain the most frequent etiologies. Materials and Methods: We report our two-year experience with eight pregnant patients diagnosed with AP. Results: Among the eight patients, three underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy while five were managed conservatively. One patient developed multiple intra-abdominal cysts, which were successfully drained. All patients delivered at term. Prophylactic tocolysis was administered for 48–72 hours only to those who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. All patients recovered fully, with no maternal or fetal mortality observed. Conclusion: With timely diagnosis and appropriate management, acute pancreatitis in pregnancy carries a favorable prognosis, markedly improved compared to historical outcomes.

Keywords: Acute pancreatitis, pregnancy, prognosis, treatment.
