The purpose of this review is to describe the impact of COVID-19 on women with epilepsy and how the issues are managed. From a review of relevant literature, we discuss special considerations for women with epilepsy during the COVID-19 crisis, which include menstruation, pregnancy, and living environment. We also propose comprehensive management including menstruation/pregnancy, medications, and mental stress. Through this review, the serious impact of COVID-19 on women with epilepsy is revealed. Epileptologists must understand these burdens in order to provide comprehensive support for women with epilepsy.
