Bilateral femoral neck fractures secondary to hypocalcemic seizures in a skeletally immature patient. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We report the case of an 11-year-old, skeletally immature boy who sustained bilateral femoral neck fractures during seizure activity. These fractures were due to hypocalcemia. Although this condition is a rare complication of seizures, its early recognition and treatment are essential to minimize complications associated with the delayed treatment of intracapsular hip fractures.
