Neglected Bilateral Posterior Shoulder Fracture Dislocation in an Uncontrolled Seizure patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare injury that occurs secondary to trauma and seizures. Diagnosis is often missed and treatment is challenging. Neglected posterior dislocation is associated with Hill-Sachs lesion which leads to locking of dislocation. Correct diagnosis is achieved by history taking, a physical examination and appropriate imaging. In neglected shoulder dislocation with uncontrolled seizure and humeral head defects of up to 45% the McLaughlin procedure shows excellent results at follow-up.

INTRODUCTION Majority of bilateral shoulder dislocations are posterior. Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations and bilateral anterior fracture-dislocations are rare and mostly of traumatic origin. We present a rare case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation with symmetrical greater tuberosity fracture following an episode of seizure with an unusual injury mechanism which was...

INTRODUCTION The shoulder is the most frequently dislocated joint. Bilateral glenohumeral dislocations are rare and almost always posterior. Bilateral anterior fracture dislocations of humeral neck in a patient with seizure are extremely rare. We report one such case of delayed presentation of bilateral anterior fracture dislocation of shoulder after an epileptic attack. CASE REPORT We descri...

Pathological fractures as a consequence of convulsive seizures without direct trauma occur in 0.3% of cases. Some lesions such as bilateral posterior dislocation of the shoulder, fracture-dislocation of the shoulder or fracture and/or dislocation of the hip strongly suggest a seizure as the aetiology. We report on a patient with simultaneous central dislocation of one hip with fracture of the c...

Bilateral posterior-fracture dislocations of the shoulder are pathognomonic for seizure induced injuries. Patients that have not been diagnosed with a seizure disorder will often present with nocturnal injuries and no history of trauma. The allusive nature of this injury is compounded by mild presenting signs and symptoms and possible autoreduction with subsequent seizures. Therefore, a high de...

Simple posterior dislocations are more commonly associated with seizures and so this case demonstrates a highly unusual fi rst presentation. Shoulder x-rays on admission revealed bilateral comminuted fractures of the humeral head and neck. Howev...
