Abstract:
This case report describes the presentation of a 30-year-old man status-post a first time seizure who presented with right shoulder pain. The initial diagnostic work-up was negative for any boney injuries. The physical exam findings prompted further imaging and the patient was found to have a comminuted and displaced right scapular body fracture. This injury occurred secondary to seizure activity, and is unusual in the absence of bone demineralization that would contribute to fracture risk.
