AbstractAcute pancreatitis is a rare condition in pregnancy, associated with a high mortality rate. Hypertriglyceridemia represents its second most common cause. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman in the 24th week of gestation with a history of hypertriglyceridemia and recurrent episodes of pancreatitis. She was admitted to our hospital with acute pancreatitis due to severe hypertriglyceridemia. She was stabilized and treated with fibrates. Despite her favorable clinical course, she developed a second episode of acute pancreatitis complicated by multi-organ dysfunction and pancreatic necrosis, requiring a necrosectomy. The pregnancy was ended by cesarean section, after which three plasmapheresis sessions were performed. She is currently asymptomatic with stable triglyceride levels. Acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in pregnant women, associated with serious maternal and fetal complications. When primary hypertriglyceridemia is suspected, such as familial chylomicronemia syndrome, the most important objective is preventing the onset of pancreatitis.

Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) often suffer tough complications, some of which are fatal. The early diagnosis and definite treatment of central nervous system (CNS) complications have not been fully achieved yet, which seriously affects the mortality of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). We present a case of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in a 62-year Chinese man who developed acute herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) after favorable minimally invasive retroperitoneal approaches (MIRAs). The patient was successfully treated with 115 days stayed in our hospital. The MIRAs included image-guided retroperitoneal percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD), nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (NPN), and ultrasonic pneumatic lithotripsy system (UPLS) assisted non-narcotic sinus track necrosectomy (NSN). HSE is relatively rare and potentially life threatening. We attempt to discuss the probable risk factors and how the relatively rare HSE are related to the patients of SAP with latent HSV.

Walled-off pancreatic necrosis is defined as a necrotic collection with a defined wall, which generally occurs in 15% of patients in the fourth week after acute pancreatitis. Actually, open surgery is reserved for selected cases, with minimally invasive treatments such as image-assisted percutaneous drainage or endoscopic ultrasound being the procedures of choice. However, in developing countries the open approach continues to be an effective therapeutic alternative. We present the case of a 47-year-old male patient with no significant history who developed severe acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia and who later developed walled-off pancreatic necrosis as a late complication. As a treatment, a debridement of the necrotic tissue with marsupialization was performed using the bradley III technique, secondary to the procedure, a pancreatic fistula was developed. After 8 weeks of hospitalization, in which he had a favourable response to surgical treatment, with spontaneous closure of the fistula without complications. Surgical management of late complications of acute pancreatitis remains controversial. Although minimally invasive procedures are the first option nowadays, in developing countries, open necrosectomy remains a good option for the treatment of these types of complications.
