title: [Current management in pregnancy and epilepsy].
abstract: Modern treatments make possible uneventful pregnancy and successful delivery for most of the epileptic women. Major risks however remain the teratogenic effects of some antiepileptic drugs and the obstetric complications they may cause. This implies careful planning of pregnancy for women with epilepsy and alertness for possible unwanted or undiagnosed (in the early stages) pregnancy in epileptic women during their reproductive years. The authors summarize current opinions in drug selections, specific treatment regimens and the obstetrics problems during pregnancy and delivery in epileptic women.
