Abstract

We report on a 35-year-old woman who underwent at 15 weeks of pregnancy exclusive parenteral nutrition for recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. She had a pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis stenosis secondary to cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. Nocturnal exclusive parenteral nutrition was used 79 days during pregnancy and 12 days during post-partum. The fetal growth was normal and the foetal well-being was normal. She presented cholestasis at 30 weeks of pregnancy treated medically. She delivered at 33 weeks of pregnancy by cesarean section a healthy baby girl with normal birth weight.
