Epilepsy and pregnancy
Pregnancy usually poses no problem to the vast majority of women with epilepsy. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) carry a small (7-10%) but significant risk of producing fetal abnormalities. We analysed 59 pregnant women with epilepsy, aged from 19-47. Forty-three (72, 8%) were affected till the age of 23. 50.9% were taking antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy ; 83.3% as monotherapy and 16.7% as polytherapy. The most common drug was valproate (40%), carbamazepine and Phenobarbital (36.7% both) and the rarest was phenytoin (6.7%). Miscarriages before the delivery were present in 14 (23.7%) patients. Fifty-two (88.1%) patients had natural deliveries and seven had Caesarean section. Fifty-nine epileptic pregnant women gave birth to 59 children. Four children had bilateral equinovarus ; one child had haemangioma on the right shoulder ; one had umbilical hernia and one had the stagnation of intrauterus growth. Our study confirms neither damages nor malformations of the fetus, influenced by antiepileptics (AEDs) treatment.
