Methods of investigation included clinical and neurological examination, routine EEG and/or video-EEG-monitoring, brain MRI, and laboratory tests. In the examined patients, antiepileptic drugs (AED) were prescribed for the first time or current therapy was corrected. CE was diagnosed in 30 cases: a perimenstrual form of CE was revealed in 24 cases, a luteal phase form in 5, and an ovulation form in one. Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) was diagnosed in 2 cases, temporal lobe epilepsy in 20, frontal epilepsy in 6, and non-localized focal epilepsy in 2. High frequency of seizures correlated with inefficacy of treatment (r = 0.3; p &lt;0.05). Menstrual cycle (MC) dysfunction was diagnosed in 25 cases: dysmenorrhea in 21 and amenorrhea in 4. MC dysfunction was associated with excess weight in 44% of cases, and with ovarian cysts or polycystic ovary syndrome in 20%. After correction of the treatment, normalization of MC was achieved in 48% of cases. In this group, remission was observed in 57.1% of cases, improvement in 14.3%, and the lack of effect in 28.6%. Some correlations of the AED efficiency with positive dynamics of MC were shown.</p>  <p> </p> <p> </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Обследовано 447 женщин с эпилепсией в возрасте 18–55 лет, выявлено 64 больных с нарушениями репродуктивной функции и (или) катамениальной эпилепсией (КЭ). Методы исследования включали клинический и неврологический осмотр, рутинную ЭЭГ и (или) ЭЭГ-видеомониторинг, МРТ головного мозга, лабораторные анализы. Всем пациенткам была назначена впервые или подвергнута коррекции текущая терапия антиэпилептическими препаратами (АЭП). КЭ диагностирована у 30 больных: перименструальная форма КЭ отмечалась у 24 из них, лютеиновая — у пяти, овуляторная — у одной. У двух пациенток диагностирована идиопатическая генерализованная эпилепсия, у 20 — фокальная височная, у шести — лобная, у двух — нелокализованная. Высокая частота приступов коррелировала с неэффективностью лечения (r = 0,3; p &lt;0,05). Нарушения менструального цикла отмечались у 25 пациенток: дисменорея — у 21, аменорея — у четырех. Нарушения цикла ассоциировались с избыточным весом в 44% случаев, овариальными кистами или синдромом поликистозных яичников — в 20%. После коррекции лечения нормализация менструального цикла была констатирована у 48% пациенток. Ремиссия среди больных данной группы отмечалась в 57,1% случаев, улучшение — в 14,3%, отсутствие эффекта — в 28,6%. Показаны определенные корреляции эффективности антиэпилептической терапии с восстановлением менструального цикла.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>epilepsy,</kwd><kwd>women</kwd><kwd>reproductive function</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эпилепсия</kwd><kwd>женщины</kwd><kwd>репродуктивная функция</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Backström T.
