    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Epilepsy in pregnant individuals presents unique challenges.
    • Increased risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes are documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the heightened risks associated with epilepsy during pregnancy.
    • To emphasize the need for specialized neonatal care for affected infants.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on pregnancy outcomes in women with epilepsy.
    • Analysis of risks for both mother and neonate.

    Main Results:

    • Elevated incidence of prenatal complications, obstetric interventions, and preterm births.
    • Higher rates of congenital malformations and neonatal drug intoxication observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Infants born to mothers with epilepsy necessitate intensive care nursery observation.
    • Proactive neonatal monitoring is crucial for managing potential complications.
