Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) are associated with increased trauma risk.
  • Fractures from GTCS are typically attributed to muscle contractions, but this is rare.
  • Diagnostic delays for fractures can occur due to primary focus on seizure etiology.
