Abstract

 Pancreatic pseudocyst in pregnancy is a very rare and serious condition, whose management is not standardized. Hyperlipidemia is considered as a cause of pancreatic pseudocysts in pregnancy, responsible for more cases than other causes like as alcoholic and biliary pancreatitis. Pharmacologic treatments, radiologic examinations, and especially operative interventions must be considered with greater caution. Main aim should be to save the life of mother while taking care to minimize the risk of miscarriage and preterm delivery. Multidisciplinary approach may give better outcome in this type of rare high risk pregnancies.
