    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive medicine
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pancreatic diseases

    Background:

    • Chronic pancreatitis presents unique challenges during pregnancy.
    • Pancreatic pseudocysts require careful management in pregnant patients.
    • Pima Indian population exhibits specific health considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of successful conservative management of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocyst in pregnancy.
    • To investigate the correlation between maternal serum and amniotic fluid amylase levels and fetal maturity.

    Main Methods:

    • Conservative surgical and obstetric management strategies were employed.
    • Maternal serum and amniotic fluid amylase levels were analyzed.
    • Fetal maturity was assessed in correlation with amylase values.

    Main Results:

    • Successful conservative management of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocyst was achieved.
    • Amylase levels in maternal serum and amniotic fluid were studied in relation to fetal maturity.

    Conclusions:

    • Conservative management is a viable option for chronic pancreatitis and pseudocysts in pregnant patients.
    • Amylase levels may provide insights into fetal maturity during pregnancy with pancreatic conditions.
