Pregnancy in epileptic women is known to be associated with a rug exposure in pregnancy is a complex problem higher risk of congenital malformations than D for obstetricians. Epilepsy is the most common non-epileptic pregnant women. The offspring of serious chronic neurological condition with a women with epilepsy are at increased risk for prevalence of 4-10/1000, and most of epileptic congenital malformation, but the impact of the patients, including women of childbearing years various contributing factors remains unresolved.1,2 (25% of total epileptic populations), require Bokhari et al4 reported strong association between treatment with anti-epileptic drugs. Due to potential the presence of coned epiphyses in feet and hands, teratogenic side effects of the antiepileptic drugs, but could not be considered a distinctive feature of risks and benefits of the drugs must be assessed for teratogenicity of phenytoin and phenobarbital. The both the mother and fetus.1,2 Barbiturates and frequency of epileptic seizure may be altered by pregnancy and seizures may cause complications in phenytoin are particularly associated with pregnancy. Hypoxic conditions caused by epileptic congenital heart malformations, facial clefts and 1,3 seizures may affect the fetus in a serious or negative some other malformations. Barbexaclone is a way.1,2 All these issues must be considered in the levopropylhexedryn salt of barbiturate, and no treatment of epileptic pregnant women. The available data are present in the literature about incidence of malformations due to the use of pregnant women, who used barbexaclone alone or oxcarbazepine was found 8% and 5% in the drug in combination with any other drug. We are group and control groups in mice, and this reporting on a patient who used barbexaclone for 2 difference was not statistically significant.5 years before pregnancy and during the first 10 Carbamazepine, phenytoin and valproic acid have weeks of the pregnancy. A physician, was unaware been shown to be associated with teratogenicity, but of the pregnancy, and prescribed the drug. a lower risk was observed with oxcarbazepine www.smj.org.sa Saudi Med J 2004; Vol. 25 (2) 245 Barbexaclone use in pregnancy compared to the other agents.1,5 As the first choice No evidence of persistent drug, oxcarbazepine can be used as monotherapy at helicobacter pylori infection in the lowest effective dose in the treatment of peripheral blood of patients with epileptic syndrome.1 Careful planning and management of any pregnancy in women with coronary heart disease epilepsy is essential to increase the likelihood of a healthy outcome for both mother and infant.1,2 In our case, pregnancy had not been planned; antiepileptic Abdulaziz S. Al-Khattaf, MSc, PhD. drugs were used during the first 10 weeks of the R pregnancy. After consultation among physicians ecently, it was proposed that coronary heart within our departments, we recommended that she disease (CHD) may be associated with chronic stop taking barbexaclone due to lack of data in the helicobacter pylori infection.1 The data, however, literature regarding its effects on pregnant women. are conflicting since there are reports denying the In the light of the previous studies, we link between the 2 conditions.2 Similarly, there have recommended oxcarbazepine as a monotherapy that been several claims of strong and significant could be taken throughout the remainder of her correlation between chronic H. pylori infection and pregnancy.
