Abstract
To the Editor:
Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) is one of the acute abdomen in pregnancy. Once the disease deteriorated rapidly, it could be a serious threat to gravida and fetus. Although the incidence of APIP has been gradually increasing due to the life style change,[1] it is still a rare disease and the mechanism is not clear. Patients with APIP were often misdiagnosed and not managed properly.[2]
