Abstract

Although the simultaneous occurrence of hyperparathyroidism and pancreatitis during pregnancy is rare, several points should be emphasized. Early recognition and treatment are essential. Pancreatitis should be kept in the differential diagnosis of unexplained nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain during pregnancy. Hyperparathyroidism should always be included in the differential diagnosis of pancreatitis. Finally, the second trimester is the optimal period for surgical intervention.
