EPILEPSY IN PREGNANCY: A REVIEW
Journal Title: Indian Obstetrics & Gynaecology - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the common chronic disorders affecting women of reproductive age. The management of epilepsy in pregnancy involves a balance between adequate seizure control vis-à-vis minimizing exposure to antiepileptic drugs to avoid adverse effects to the foetus in-utero. This review addresses critical issues pertaining to women with epilepsy in pregnancy like occurrence of seizures, congenital malformations, perinatal and neonatal outcomes and childhood morbidity.
