This report describes a case of chronic recurrent pancreatitis due to gallstones arising in the first trimester of pregnancy. Total parental nutrition produced a normalization of pancreatic enzymes and a rapid regression of symptoms. Following another relapse of acute pancreatitis, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. The pregnancy continued normally and the patient had a spontaneous delivery at the 37th week.
