Therefore, it is very important to identify and summarize the problems and risks for women with epilepsy (WWE) of childbearing age, and offer internationally recognized methods through multidisciplinary collaboration. In this review, we summarize the reproduction-related problems with WWE and propose multidisciplinary management by epileptologists, gynecologists and obstetricians, as well as other experts, from preconception to delivery. Large, multicenter registries are needed to advance our knowledge on new ASMs and their effects on WWE and their offspring.Wanlin LaiShixu HeDong ZhouLei ChenBMCarticleWomen with epilepsyReproductionAntiseizure medicationsTeratogenicityOffspringSeizureNeurology.
