Epilepsy in women. Oestrogen and progesterone plasma levels.
Comparison is made between numbers of fits and estrogen, progesterone plasma values during the menstrual cycle of women with epilepsy. All six cycles in women with ovulation had a significant positive correlation between estrogen/progesterone ratio and scores of fits. Three periods without ovulation all showed a significant correlation to estrogen variations.
