Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Late diagnoses of orthopedic injuries after epileptic crisis are a matter of concern. The rarity of correlation between seizure and specific trauma incidences such as bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation, may lead to improper estimation of the patient’s clinical state, wrong treatment and unpleasant complications. CASE REPORT: We report a rare case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation associated with coracoid processes fracture after a seizure episode, in a young lady of 29 years. This is a rare event, however as patient is often disoriented after seizures, frequently this can be missed diagnosis. So this article puts emphasis on possibilities of rare diagnosis, which if treated promptly can lead to early restoration of complete movement. CONCLUSION: Although it is not a common problem, but one should have a high degree of suspicion and should always opt for further radiological examination if there is any doubt.
