Seizures in pregnancy

E A Shuster. Emerg Med Clin North Am. 1994 Nov.

Abstract

Seizures in pregnancy may risk the health of both mother and fetus. Epileptic women should ideally plan pregnancies after counseling by their primary care givers. New-onset seizures and any increase in seizure frequency or severity should be promptly evaluated. Eclampsia and status epilepticus represent life-threatening conditions that demand urgent multidisciplinary management.
