title: [A man with a swollen shoulder].
abstract: A 25-year-old patient presented to the Emergency Department with a swollen left shoulder after an epileptic seizure. Radiography showed a fracture of the humeral head. A CT-scan of the shoulder confirmed the diagnosis of an avulsion fracture of the lesser tuberosity. This is a rare condition and deserves specific attention and surgical treatment to prevent impaired function of the shoulder due to muscle weakness and impingement of the avulsion fragment.
