摘要
We describe the management of a 39-year-old woman with intractable focal epilepsy whose condition deteriorated during pregnancy and who required emergency neurosurgery. A literature search did not identify any previous reports of epilepsy surgery in pregnancy. To our knowledge, this is the first time surgery was planned and executed in rapid order with a successful outcome, without obstetrical or sur-gical complications and seizure freedom achieved. The value of rapid communication between estab-lished women's health advanced nurse practitioner clinics, the multidisciplinary Epilepsy Surgery Group and specialist Obstetrical Epilepsy service is highlighted. A care cycle for pregnant women with refractory epilepsy is proposed.& COPY; 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
