They occurred in two male patients, 18 and 48 years old suffering respectively from hypercorticism and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Seizures, occurring inside hospital, were secondary to hypertensive encephalopathy crisis with hypokaliemia in the first case and severe hypoglycaemia in the second one. Fracture was promoted by a decrease in mineral bone density caused respectively by hypercorticism and diabetic chronic renal failure.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>These observations emphasize that fracture prevention among patients with decreased mineral bone density should include the avoidance of metabolic causes of seizure.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-1626-3-30","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,19]],"date-time":"2010-01-19T07:15:50Z","timestamp":1263885350000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Non-traumatic fractures following seizures: two case reports"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Koussay","family":"Ach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Slim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sihem Trimech","family":"Ajmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Molka Chadli","family":"Chaieb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amel Maaroufi","family":"Beizig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Larbi","family":"Chaieb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"1516_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0404.1999.tb00675.x","volume":"99","author":"P Vestergaard","year":"1999","unstructured":"Vestergaard P, Tigaran S, Rejnmark L, Tigaran C, Dam M, Mosekilde L: Fracture risk is increased in epilepsy.
