This case report describes a 24-yr-old pregnant woman who developed acute pancreatitis while suffering from a severe eclamptic syndrome. Since she had no gallstones or other known aetiological factors of acute pancreatitis, the possibility of an aetiologic role of pancreatic ischaemic changes associated with eclampsia is discussed. From a clinical point of view, acute pancreatitis persisted longer than usual and rendered its management complex.
