| Summary: | 【Abstract】This case report presents a 25-year-old
female patient with anterior dislocation of right shoulder
secondary to seizures as a complication of eclampsia. This
is an unusual mechanism of injury, but similar to other un-controlled muscular contractions caused by electroconvul-sive therapy, etc. To the best of our knowledge only one
such case has been reported in the English literature. Closed
reduction under general anaesthesia was successfully
achieved. High suspicion in patients complaining of pain
over shoulder joint is necessary for early diagnosis of this
condition.
