    (2009) İş, Merih; Kılınçer, Cumhur; Sencer, Altay; Karasu, Aykut; İmer, Murat
    A 62-year-old female presented with severe low back pain following a generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizure. There was no history of trauma. Neurologic examination was normal. Radiologic examinations revealed burst fracture at the L1 level with %50 spinal canal narrowing. She underwent L1 corpectomy, cage, and plate fixation via anterolateral approach. The postoperative period was uneventful. Most vertebral fractures induced by seizure are asymptomatic and stable. The current case is a rare example of seizure-induced burst fracture of thoracolumbar junction with significant canal compromise. The mechanisms of seizure induced burst fractures were reviewed and treatment options were discussed.
