Abstract

A 28-year-old woman presents to your office for consultation. She has been married for 2 years and is planning to start a family and become pregnant. She is diagnosed with partial epilepsy of temporal lobe origin 5 years ago and her seizures are controlled on lamotrigine 100 mg twice daily with no recurrence in the last year. She is worried about the risk of seizure medications to her baby should she become pregnant. She wants to stop taking lamotrigine during her pregnancy. How do you counsel her regarding the risk of seizure recurrence during pregnancy and potential seizure-related complications for her future pregnancy?.
