Background Patients with epilepsy have a higher risk of skeletal injuries, and some of these
fractures occur in the spine during a seizure. Seizure-induced spinal fractures (SISF) are …

Injury-induced seizures may appear clinically asymptomatic and can be easily monitored by
the absence of trauma and post-ictal impairment of consciousness. Patients with epilepsy …

BACKGROUND Vertebral fracture caused solely by a convulsive seizure has rarely been
reported in the neurosurgical literature. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a 34-year-old …

Introduction: Non-traumatic vertebral fractures that occur solely as a consequence of the
muscle forces that develop during a convulsive seizure, has rarely been reported in …

While rare, post-ictal thoracolumbar burst fractures are commonly missed due to
confounding factors, resulting in delayed treatment and the potential for serious neurological …

Non-traumatic vertebral fractures occurring as a sole consequence of the violent muscle
forces generated during the first episode of a GTCS (generalized tonic clonic seizure) in a …

It has been reported that fractures are more common in epileptic patients relative to the
general population. Seizures by repeated muscular contractions can increase fracture risk …

Background: Musculoskeletal injuries stemming from forceful muscular contractions during
seizures have been documented in the literature. Reports of multiple seizure-induced spinal …

The violent forces generated by the strong paraspinal muscles during generalized tonic-
clonic seizures are known to be associated with numerous musculoskeletal injuries and …

ABSTRACT A 36-year-old male developed a burst fracture of the L1 vertebra following a
seizure. The patient experienced conus-cauda equina compression resulting in urinary …
