Acute Pancreatitis Secondary to Gestational Hypertriglyceridaemia

الملخص EN

Gestational hypertriglyceridaemia is a rare cause of acute pancreatitis.

Its pathophysiology is incompletely understood.

Severity scoring and effective management remain challenging.

We report a case of acute pancreatitis secondary to gestational hypertriglyceridaemia.

We describe the use of computed tomography to provide an alternative determination of severity, as well as plasmapheresis as a means of treating the condition.
