The knowledge of women with epilepsy on motherhood
2017
Wstęp: Padaczka jest jedną z najczęstszych chorób neurologicznych. Na całym świecie cierpi na nią ok. 50 mln osób, z czego połowa to kobiety. Pomimo że ciąża w przebiegu epilepsji zaliczana jest do ciąż wysokiego ryzyka, na podstawie wielu obserwacji przyjmuje się, że szansa urodzenia zdrowego dziecka przez kobietę z padaczką wynosi ponad 90%, ale ryzyko wystąpienia wad wrodzonych jest 2–3-krotnie wyższe niż w przypadku ciąży u kobiety zdrowej. Wynika to głównie z faktu stosowania leków przeciwpadaczkowych. Materiał i metody: Badaniami objęto 139 kobiet chorych na padaczkę, w wieku od 18 do 40 lat, będących pod opieką poradni neurologicznych na terenie województwa śląskiego. Badania przepro…
