Abstract 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.
