STUDY OF SEIZURES IN PREGNANCY
Muthukumar J, Ganesa Pandian
Abstract :
Seizures may occur during pregnancy for the first time or recur in a female who is a known epileptic. Seizures occurring during pregnancy, delivery and in puerperium have more serious impact over the maternal and fetal outcome. Seventy four 74 pregnant women, who presented with seizures for the first time during their pregnancy were taken up for study. It was found that antepartum eclampsia is the leading cause of seizures during pregnancy and it predominantly occurs in primi parous women. Factors like elevation in systolic BP, recurrent episodes of seizures, altered sensorium influence perinatal mortality, whereas prolonged alternation of sensorium and abnormal neurological examination following antepartum seizures indicates poor maternal prognosis in terms of mortality & morbidity
