Acute pancreatitis has an incidence of approximately 1 in 1000 to 5000 pregnancies, and is most often seen in the third trimester or the postpartum period. The most common cause of pregnancy-related acute pancreatitis is cholelithiasis, which accounts for more than 65% of cases. The aim of this study was to present a detailed analysis of 4 years of experience with cases of acute biliary pancreatitis related to pregnancy from a single center.
