We report a study of 13 pregnant women with epilepsy over a 5-year period The mean age was 28 years [Range :20-36 years].Eight women had grand mal seizures [generalized tonic-clonic seizures]. All women were receiving anticonvulsivant therapy before pregnancy, whose 08 under monotherapy and 05 under bitherapy. Phenobarbital is largely the must used for 10 women. During pregnancy, an increase in seizure frequency was noticed in 07 cases and antiepileptic doses were increased to the clinic in 05 cases and 02 patients required the association of other anticonvulsivants. Thirty babies were born at term of which 03 by forceps and 02 by caesarean section. There where no cases of neonatal hemorrhage or per natal death. Symptoms of drug impregnation were found in 04 cases. pregnancy doesn't have a catastrophic effect on the course of epilepsy apart from the risk of an increase in the frequency of the fits. This risk must be reduced thanks to an optimal use of an anticonvulsive therapy before and during pregnancy

We report the case of a woman in her 38[th] week of pregnancy who was brought by the SAMU in a state of shock following a car accident. She was a multiple trauma case with lesions over the face, the abdomen, a left femur fracture and metrorrhagia. The abdominal ultrasound revealed the presence of an important hemoperitoneum and absence of the fetal heart sounds. The surgical exploration found a ruptured uterus and an intra peritoneal dead fetus. A conservative treatment was done in this primipara and the post surgical evolution was good
