摘要
The safety and efficacy of novel anticonvulsants during pregnancy in women with epilepsy are not well established. Although there are a variety of pregnancy registries accruing data on various outcomes, health care professionals managing women of childbearing age are interested in any information that may assist with clinical decisions. This case series summarizes the clinical outcomes of three women with epilepsy, all of whom took levetiracetam as monotherapy during pregnancy. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
