[Multiple fractures following seizures in a pregnant woman].

A 27-year-old woman, immigrated from Libanon, pregnant and at term was admitted with pain in the lower abdomen. The history was badly recognized because of the patient's inability to speak Danish. X-ray revealed a fracture of the left acetabulum with a minor central dislocation of the femoral head. During a new seizure she had another fracture of the right acetabulum also with a minor central dislocation of the femoral head and an undisplaced fracture of the proximal humerus on the left side. She was then delivered by a caesarean section. The seizures were later found to be due to grand mal type epileptic attacks. This case underlines the importance of a careful clinical and radiological investigation of patients with complaints of pain related to the central joints after seizures.
