Abstract EN
Background.
We report a case of familial hyperlipidemia in pregnancy that resulted in hemorrhagic pancreatitis.
Case.
A patient at 27-week gestation was admitted for recurrent pancreatitis secondary to severe hyperlipidemia.
With conservative care, the patient improved but on the fourth day of admission she experienced a sudden onset of hypotension and was diagnosed with hemorrhagic pancreatitis.
Conclusion.
Pancreatitis caused by hyperlipidemia is an uncommon event during pregnancy.
A familiarity with the severe complications associated with this potentially life-threatening condition is important.
