Bilateral Acetabular Fractures Associated With a Seizure: A Case Report

Abdominal Pain Caused by Bilateral Acetabular Fractures Secondary to an Epileptic Seizure Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Seizure induced acetabular fractures, especially bilateral acetabular fractures, are scarcely reported. A review of literature identified 27 cases of seizure related acetabular fracture-dislocations, of which only 10 were bilateral [1,3,[8][9][10][11]. All of these patients complained of groin pain [1,3], in contrast to our patient who suffered from abdominal pain.…”

“…Patients with epilepsy have increased fracture risks [1][2][3]. These fractures can be related to the seizure itself but 40% are associated with osteopenia [4,5].…”

Shake Till You Break – Bilateral Neck of Humerus Fracture Post Seizure

“…A complete evaluation should be performed when the patient has recovered from the post-ictal period (Friedberg & Buras 2005). Early recognition and treatment hence will improve prognosis and outcome.…”

Bilateral Posterior Dislocation of the Shoulder Caused by Seizure after Tramadol Usage; A Case Report And Literature Review

“…The mechanism underlying in this phenomenon is axial loading of the adducted internally rotated arm from violent muscle contraction during a seizure episode [1]. Because of probability of dislocation, compression fractures of the vertebrae [18] or other musculoskeletal and joints injuries [19,20] associated with convulsion, some authors [20,21] suggested that, all patients should be under a full musculoskeletal examination after seizure episode.…”

“…Although, the most of bilateral shoulder dislocations resulting from seizures are posterior, anterior dislocation also may occur [2,3,8,11,12]. Seizures account for thirty percent of causation of bilateral anterior shoulder joint dislocation which is frequently misdiagnosed in patients with post-ictal phase [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Rethnam et al described shoulder dislocation resulted from seizures and they believed that, convulsion could cause shoulder instability [21][22][23].…”
