To the Editor: Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) is one of the acute abdomen in pregnancy. Once the disease deterio- rated 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, it is still a rare disease and the mechanism is not clear. Patients with APIP were often misdiagnosed and not managed properly.
