  ABSTRACT: Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an extensive inflammation condition that may lead to local and systemic complications, ranging from mild edematous peripancreatic fluid collection to multiorgan failure and death. Aim: To report the case of the patient with the complications that happened and the presented management. Case presentation: A 37-year-old female patient presented with acute necrotizing pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia. During hospitalization, the patient developed severe ileus with splenic vein thrombosis. She was treated conservatively with Intravenous (IV) fluids, insulin infusion, anticoagulant, pain relief medication and antibiotics. Discussion: This case of pancreatitis induced splenic vein thrombosis (PIVST) was treated supportively with outstanding improvement of the patient’s symptoms. Conclusion: Acute pancreatitis can be complicated by splenic vein thrombosis that can be self-limited and treated with conservative measures.
