Epilepsy is a disease of the brain that occurs by the repetition of unprovocated attacks. Epilepsy affects 2% of the world’s population. Most of the epilepsy patients are women in the reproductive age. Patients diagnosed with epilepsy are difficult to manage during pregnancy. Despite the high rate of healthy (92-96) births, premature birth, low birth weight, fetal and neonatal death risk, congenital malformations and developmental tension rates are increased compared to normal population. According to the general population, the birth rate of infants with congenital malformation is 2-5 times higher in pregnancies diagnosed with epilepsy. The tumors themselves and the antiepileptic drugs used can negatively affect the fetus’ health. As the number of incidents in pregnancy increases, the result of pregnancy is negatively affected. Many studies show that there is a relationship between pre-born exposure to antiepileptic drugs and both physical anomalies and the risk of nerve developmental disorders. For these reasons, the main objective of follow-up and treatment should be to ensure the birth of a healthy baby with the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy process, under the treatment of the patient’s type of stroke, in the lowest doses, with the maximum control of the stroke, and to ensure the birth of a healthy baby.
