Case Reports
[Carbamazepine and vigabatrin in epileptic pregnant woman and side effects in the newborn infant].
Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is frequently prescribed to pregnant epileptic women. Various congenital malformations constitute the most described side-effects in their newborns. ⋯ Newborns of epileptic mothers treated with carbamazepine and/or vigabatrin during pregnancy should be placed under clinical observation during their first postnatal week. Calcemia monitoring is suggested for infants whose mothers were not supplemented with vitamin D during pregnancy. With a follow up of respectively 26 and 7 months, both brothers have normal milestones, confirming the transitory and benign character of reported side-effects.
