Abstract Objective The main purpose of this article is to define prognosis of pregnancies in epileptic women in Benin. Methods This was a case–control study that included 54 epileptic women who had at least one pregnancy matched to 162 controls on age, pregnancy term, and monitoring center. Information about epilepsy, treatment, pregnancy, and childbirth were collected. A logistic regression with odds ratio (OR) calculation was used to study the association. Results During pregnancy 22.22% of epileptic women experienced an increase in seizure frequency. Epileptics had more frequent miscarriages (OR: 1.84 [1.01–3.51]), more incidents during pregnancy (OR: 4.03 [1.04–15.60]), and were more often hospitalized (OR: 3.35 [1.46–7.69]) than women without epilepsy. They, more often, had premature children before 37 weeks of amenorrhea (OR: 2.10 [1.12–3.91]) and gave birth to low-birth-weight children (OR = 2.17 [1.00–4.76]). Conclusion Occurrence of a pregnancy in an epileptic woman in Benin is at risk and requires multidisciplinary monitoring by both neurologist and obstetrician to reduce complications.

Abstract. Saliva and plasma concentrations of norethisterone (NET) were determined by a radioimmunoassay in 5 healthy women and in one epileptic woman on phenytoin treatment during a 21-day cycle on an oral contraceptive containing 3 mg NET-acetate and 0.05 mg ethinyloestradiol. Plasma non-protein bound concentrations of NET were determined by equilibrium dialysis. Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) was measured in all samples. An excellent correlation was found between plasma total, plasma non-protein bound and saliva levels of NET. Plasma non-protein bound and saliva concentrations were in the same range throughout, indicating that saliva concentrations reflect the free fraction of NET in plasma. SHBG increased considerably in all women. A slight decrease in the ratio between total and non-protein bound concentrations was found with time, possibly reflecting a slight increase in protein binding with increasing SHBG. The woman on anticonvulsant therapy had plasma total, plasma unbound and saliva NET concentrations that were only 30 per cent of those of the healthy women. The relationship between the different fractions was similar to that found in the healthy women. The non-protein bound fraction of NET was 4–5 per cent of the total in all women studied.

Traumatic Impact

In a 33 years-old epileptic woman with a traumatic impact to the vertex, clinical and radiological studies (skull X-R, CT and MRI) disclosed an extensive, callosal section under the topography of the falx, associated to frontonasal contusions. There was a significant improvement in the epileptic syndrome. No interhemispheric disconnection syndrome could be determined, which is compatible with the posterior regions of the corpus callosum having been spared. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the most extensive callosal injury documented by MRI to date.
