Anterior shoulder fracture dislocation

Discussion:

Epileptic seizures can cause shoulder dislocation and instability. This case of an example of anterior shoulder fracture-dislocation of his left shoulder following a seizure.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlated with CT of the brain findings suggestive of neurocysticercosis or tubercular granuloma as an epileptogenic focus.

Glenohumeral dislocation secondary to seizure disorders or electric shock is more frequently posterior, but it also occurs in an anterior direction.

The greater tuberosity is mildly displaced. A displaced greater tuberosity fracture usually signifies an associated rotator cuff injury and if not reduced anatomically can lead to permanent disability and decreased range of motion.
