JOURNAL ARTICLE
[Acute pancreatitis induced by major hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy. A case report].
A parturient in the 37th week of gestation is referred to the obstetrical emergency ward for an acute abdominal pain with vomiting and fever. Few hours after her admission, a caesarean section is performed for acute fetal distress. It gave birth to a 3940 g healthy newborn. An abundant and milky peritoneal fluid is noted during the C-section related to a major hypertriglyceridemia (84,47 g/L) which induced an acute pancreatitis explaining the early symptoms. The patient is then hospitalized in surgical reanimation: heparin and a low fat diet led to a quick decrease of triglyceridemia and the healing of the acute pancreatitis. We review the most recent literature about acute pancreatitis during pregnancy, especially induced by hypertriglyceridemia, and the different management option: heparin, parenteral nutrition or plasmapheresis.
