N2  - Conjugal violence is a complicated issue which scope and consequences are increasingly documented. Among the many facets of the phenomenon, its occurrence during pregnancy is particularly worrisome. This article reviews the scientific literature pertaining to this issue. After establishing the prevalence of conjugal violence during pregnancy, the authors examine the major studies analyzing factors associated with this violence as well as its consequences for the mother and the infant. The article concludes that the current informations, although partial, are sufficient to justify early detection of conjugal violence in order to help future mothers efficiently.<p />  <p>Language: fr</p>
