[Pancreatitis and pregnancy].
Five cases of pregnancy complicated by pancreatitis are discussed. In three of the five cases there was, at the time of the pregnancy, some pathology which might have been responsable for the acute pancreatitis. Three patients were operated on. The phisiopathology and the ethiopathology of this condition are commented, as well as the principal clinical and laboratorial findings. The complications are discussed. The medical treatment represents the best management in these cases. Surgery, ideally, should only be undertaken when the pregnancy is over.
