Abstract
The incidence of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy is very low. Eighty percent of patients are asymptomatic and an association with acute pancreatitis is fairly uncommon. When hyperparathyroidism is discovered during pregnancy, management is influenced by the degree of hypercalcemia, gestational age, and the presence of complications. We present a pregnant woman who developed multiorgan failure with severe acute pancreatitis due to primary hyperparathyroidism.
