[Pregnancy and epilepsy].
Pregnant women with epilepsy risk complications. Perinatal mortality and congenital malformations are more frequent than in the general population. Offspring of parents with epilepsy have a higher risk for seizure later in life. Identification of factors associated with complications may lead to improved pregnancy outcome. Recommendations about neurological, obstetric and pediatric care of pregnant women with epilepsy are proposed.
