Poor compliance may contribute to the occurrence of status epilepticus, resulting in the need for substantial increased in anticonvulsant dosing to suppress seizures.

She was known epilepsy patient diagnosed about 3 years ago and was on phenytoin but was not on regular medications after she knew that she got pregnant. Physical examination revealed Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of E2VTM2 (on midazolam). Patient had normal neurological examination. After aggressive treatments with midazolam and antiepileptic drug, the patient regained full consciousness. Conclusion. Pregnancy sometimes worsens the frequency of seizures in known epileptic women.
