title: [Posteriorly dislocated shoulder was first detected after 2 days. Aching shoulders is not a high priority in the emergency situation].
abstract: Shoulder dislocations are not rare in a radiology department working with emergency radiology. The majority are anteriorly dislocated and easy to diagnose. The posteriorly dislocated shoulders are more rare and often more difficult to spot on plain X-ray films. This case report describes a very rare condition with bilateral posterior fracture dislocations in a healthy man following generalized seizures of unknown cause. In spite of complaints of discomfort in the shoulders, two days passed by before the shoulder dislocations were diagnosed.
