Epileptic seizures during labor are seen rarely. A patient in labor had a 70-minute tonic-clonic convulsion. Maternal acid-base status and oxygenation remained normal. Fetal monitoring showed no evidence of distress. This case suggests that fetal bradycardia during maternal seizures is due to hypoxia and acidosis, not to other factors.
