De gevolgen voor moeder en kind van epilepsie en het gebruik van anti-epileptica in de zwangerschap

- The evolutions were studied of 146 pregnancies of 125 women with epilepsy, virtually all of whom used anti-epileptic drugs during the pregnancy. For such cases management of pregnancy and parturition by a specialist is at present considered indicated. It is concluded that this practice is justified, in view of the following observations: increased rates of hospital admission of mothers and children, probable increase of obstetrical complications, raised perinatal mortality and one case of severe foetal bradycardia during an epileptic attack.
