Sažetak
The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of epileptic seizures during pregnancy. The frequency of seizures was monitored in 22 pregnancies in IH women suffering from epilepsy, mean age 25 ±6 years. The number of pregnancies varied from one to three. Partial epileptic seizures were recorded in 13 *(72%) and generalized epileptic seizures in 5 (28%) women. All women were on Htttleplloptic therapy, i.e. 12 (67%) on monotherapy and 6 (33%) on polytherapy. The most common therapy was carbamazepine, taken as mono*or polytherapy by 12 (67%) women. The cause of epilepsy was known in 7 (39%) women. In two (11%) women, epileptic seizures first occurred in pregnancy. In one woman, the cause of epileptic seizures was subsequently diag- nosed glioblastoma. Epileptic seizures were controlled in 14 (64%) pregnancies, whereas in 8 (36%) pregnancies they were more frequent than before pregnancy.
