ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain during pregnancy that may become severe and rarely progresses to a necrotizing form with a high maternofetal mortality even in young patients[1, 2]. A small number of pregnant women with acute pancreatitis have an associated hyperlipidemia, usually hypertriglyceridemia while in all these cases, pancreatitis is mild in severity and is responsive to conservative medical management[2.3]. We present a case of necrotizing pancreatitis in a 25 years old pregnant woman at 34 weeks of gestation, who presented with acute abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting that required operative management
