Described in this article is the case of a 72-year-old patient with generalized epileptic seizures and no history of trauma who experienced ongoing pain in shoulder girdle that was diagnosed as bilateral fracture of humerus with limb tomography

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Epilepsy patients face not only the risk of possible trauma experienced during a violent seizure (a fall or striking something, for example), patients using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are also at high risk of bone fracture because some medications have an adverse effect on vitamin D metabolism.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Epilepsy patients face not only the risk of possible trauma experienced during a violent seizure (a fall or striking something, for example), patients using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are also at high risk of bone fracture because some medications have an adverse effect on vitamin D metabolism.

Abstract

Epilepsy patients face not only the risk of possible trauma experienced during a violent seizure (a fall or striking something, for example), patients using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are also at high risk of bone fracture because some medications have an adverse effect on vitamin D metabolism. Described in this article is the case of a 72-year-old patient with generalized epileptic seizures and no history of trauma who experienced ongoing pain in shoulder girdle that was diagnosed as bilateral fracture of humerus with limb tomography

Özet

Epilepsi hastalarında nöbet esnasında gelişen travmalar ve uzun süreli antiepileptik ilaç kullanımı nedeniyle kemik kırıkları riski yüksektir. Jeneralize nöbetin şiddeti yanında hastanın yaşı,eşlik eden diğer hastalıklar ve bazı antiepileptik ilaçların D vitamini metabolizması üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri kemik kırık riskini arttıran faktörlerdir. Nadir bir komplikasyon olarak nöbet sonrası travma ya da düşme öyküsü olmaksızın kemik kırıkları görülebilmektedir. Bu yazıda 72 yaşında özgeçmişinde osteoporozu olan ve non-steroid anti-enflamatuvar dışında ilaç kullanımı olmayan, travma tariflenmeyen ilk jeneralize epileptik nöbet sonrası devam eden omuz kuşağı ağrıları nedeniyle yapılan ekstremite tomografilerinde iki tarafalı humerus kırığı saptanan olgumu sunuldu.
