Abstract

Although spontaneous and simultaneous bilateral hip fractures without trauma are seen rarely, epileptic seizures may lead to these fractures. We present an 82-year-old female patient with poor bone quality and a 20-year history of epilepsy. She had been using anticonvulsant drugs for almost 20 years. Following a convulsive epileptic attack, bilateral intertrochanteric femur fractures occurred (causing bilateral hip pain), which was diagnosed on the 12th day. An earlier pelvic anteroposterior roentgenogram would be helpful for early diagnosis. It should not be forgotten that bone fractures may be observed without trauma in epilepsy patients.

Özet

Travma olmadan iki taraflı kalça kırıkları nadirdir, fakat epileptik nöbetler bu tip kırıklara neden olabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, 82 yaşında, kemik kalitesi kötü olan ve 20 yıllık epilepsi hastası olduğu bilinen bir kadın olgu sunuldu. Hasta yaklaşık 20 yıldır antikonvülzan ilaçlar kullanmaktaydı; bir epilepsi atağı sırasında her iki kalçasında intertrokanterik femur kırığı oluştuğu, fakat tanının 12. gün sonra konulabildiği öğrenildi. Daha erken çekilen bir pelvis ön-arka grafisi erken tanı için yardımcı olabilirdi. Epilepsi hastalarında travma olmaksızın kırıklar olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
