    Summary

    This study describes two epilepsy in pregnancy cases treated with carbamazepine. One pregnancy resulted in stillbirth with malformations, while the other had a normal outcome, highlighting the need for more data on carbamazepine use during pregnancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Neurology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Epilepsy in pregnancy presents risks to both mother and fetus.
    • Carbamazepine is a commonly used antiepileptic drug, but its safety during pregnancy requires further investigation.
    • Limited data exists on the teratogenic potential of carbamazepine.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe two cases of epilepsy in pregnancy managed with carbamazepine.
    • To contribute to the understanding of carbamazepine's effects during gestation.
    • To highlight the need for cautious monitoring and data collection.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two pregnant patients with epilepsy on carbamazepine.
    • Review of relevant literature on antiepileptic drug use in pregnancy.
    • Clinical observation and outcome assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Case 1: Stillbirth at 25 weeks' gestation with multiple congenital malformations, possibly influenced by concurrent analgesic use.
    • Case 2: Normal infant delivery.
    • Literature review suggests a preference for carbamazepine but lacks definitive conclusions.

    Conclusions:

    • Carbamazepine's teratogenicity in pregnancy is not confirmed or denied by this study.
    • Further data pooling and cautious monitoring are essential, especially with a history of fetal malformations or obstetric issues.
    • A clear preference between no treatment and monitored carbamazepine for epilepsy in pregnancy remains undetermined.
