The same animal model also demonstrated that the offspring of the epileptic mothers had deficits in motor coordination and increased immobility [12]. The placentas from the epileptic rat models had areas of ischaemic infarction. More recently, rats exposed to seizures in utero showed impaired social behaviour compared with rats with no intrauterine exposure to seizures [13]. In humans, some idea on the potential impact of GTCS on the developing foetus can be extrapolated from studies in eclampsia [14], where changes in foetal heart rate occur during convulsions. In WWE, only a few case studies have demonstrated a specific effect on the foetus after GTCS; two cases were described by Teramo and coworkers in 1979 [15].
