title: [Analysis of changes in the incidence of seizures in pregnant women with epilepsy].
abstract: Sixty-five (41%) of 153 pregnant women with epilepsy were selected for analysis because the course of the disease changed in them during pregnancy. In 43 of these women (67%) the frequency of seizures decreased and in 21 cases the seizures disappeared completely. In 22 patients (33%) the frequency of seizures increased in pregnancy. An unfavourable influence of pregnancy was observed more frequently in patients with vourable influence of pregnancy was observed more frequently in patients with severe epilepsy with evidence of organic changes in the central nervous system and mental changes. The prognosis was better in women with less severe disease continuing anticonvulsant treatment.
