# Two Cases of Anterior Shoulder Dislocation and Fracture Secondary to Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

## TL;DR

This paper presents two rare cases of anterior shoulder dislocation and one with a fracture caused by seizures, highlighting their management and outcomes.

## Contribution

The paper contributes two rare documented cases of anterior shoulder dislocation and a fracture following generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

## Key findings

- Anterior shoulder dislocation after seizures is rare compared to posterior dislocations.
- One patient also sustained a proximal humerus fracture, which is even less common.
- Management and outcomes of these injuries are variable and under-documented in the literature.

## Abstract

Dislocation of the glenohumeral joint secondary to generalized tonic-clonic seizures is well documented in the medical literature, with posterior dislocation being most commonly described. Still, these occurrences tend to be rare and affect a minority of patients, and fractures associated with dislocations after seizures are even less common. As such, the management of these injuries tends to be quite varied, and there is a paucity of documented cases in the literature. Here, we would like to present two rare cases of anterior shoulder dislocation secondary to seizures, with one patient also sustaining a fracture of the proximal humerus. We would also like to discuss the management and outcomes that have been achieved, since these cases tend to occur in a small number of epileptic patients.
