ABSTRACT
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) and acute pancreatitis are peculiar complications of pregnancy. When acute pancreatitis occurs co-incidentally with acute fatty liver of pregnancy, mortality is high. Here, we report a case of a 22-year-old lady in her 36th week of gestation, who presented with pre-eclampsia, acute fatty liver of pregnancy and acute pancreatitis. She fulfilled six Swansea criteria for diagnosis of AFLP, and the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was based on clinical suspicion, elevated pancreatic enzymes and the sonographic appearance of a swollen pancreatic head.
