ABSTRACT

Bilateral dislocation of the shoulder is rare and still very rare when it arises during the sleep due to an epileptic seizure. We report in this work the case of a young 24-year-old patient not known epileptic before and who never has a convulsive crisis. We discuss the mechanism of this uncommon variety of shoulder dislocation and modalities of treatment.
