The acute pancreatitis is a rare complication during the pregnancy. Causes are dominated by the gallstones and hyperlipidemia. This case report describes a 35-year-old pregnant woman who developed acute pancreatitis while suffering from a severe pre-eclampsia syndrome. Since she had no gallstones or other known aetiological factors of acute pancreatitis, the possibility of an etiologic role of pancreatic ischaemic changes associated with eclampsia is discussed. Evolution was marked with multi-organ system failure and poor outcome. Our experience and the previously reported case suggest that pre-eclampsia could be added to the list of causes of the acute pancreatitis.
