Avulsion fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus after seizure: a case report

Bu makalede 24 yaşında hiç bir bilinen hastalığı olmayan bir olgudan bahsedeceğiz. Bilinen bir hastalığı olmayan 24 yaşındaki erkek hasta sağ omuzda ağrı ile başvurdu. Travma ve düşme öyküsü olmayan hastanın detaylısorgulamasında 5 gün önce bir nöbet geçirdiği ortaya çıktı. Yapılan incelemeler sonrasında hastada sağ humerus tüberositas majör deplase avülsiyon kırığı ve epilepsi tanısı konuldu. Bu olgu sunumu travma öyküsü olmadan nöbet geçiren hastalarda avülsiyon kırıklarının hatırda tutulmasını öğretiyor.

Nöbet sonrası tüberkülüm majus humerinin avulsiyon kırığı

Here we describe a 24-year-old man without a history of any disease. He presented to our clinic with right shoulder pain. He has no history of trauma and fall. Detailed inquiry revealed that he had an attack of seizure 5 days before this pain. Imaging studies showed a displaced avulsion fracture of greater tuberosity of the right humerus. The patient was diagnosed with epilepsy. This case report suggests that avulsion fractures should be remembered in case of seizures without trauma history.
