title: Anterior dislocation of shoulder in eclampsia: a case report.
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 uncontrolled muscular contractions caused by electroconvulsive 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.
