A 34-year-old woman, epileptic since childhood, was admitted during the 26th-27th week of her second pregnancy because of status epilepticus. Effective treatment of the seizures allowed the pregnancy to reach term, and a healthy infant was born. A conservative treatment regimen involving seizure control and preservation of pregnancy is recommended.
