ÖZET
Epilepsili bireylerde, epilepsi ve/veya komorbid durumların
doğrudan etkisi nedeniyle yaralanmalar daha yaygındır. Nöbetin tonik
evresinde meydana gelen aşırı ve güçlü kas kasılmaları, kemikleri zorlayarak
kırıklara neden olabilir. Abdominal ve paraspinal kas kasılmaları vertebral
aksiyal yüklenme sonucu vertebral kompresyon kırıklarına neden olur.
Bu olgu sunumunda, T5 vertebrada epileptik nöbet sonrası gelişen nontravmatik
kompresyon kırığı olan olgudan bahsedilmektedir. Ağrılı kompresyon
kırığı aracılığıyla bu olguda osteoporoz teşhis edilmiştir. Epilepsisi olanlarda
osteoporoz için bilinen bir risk faktörü olan D vitamini eksikliği ve
vertebra/vertebra dışı kırık riski daha yüksektir. Bu nedenle osteoporozun
teşhisi ve komplikasyonlarının önlenmesi kritik öneme sahiptir. Vertebra
kırığı, epileptik nöbet sonrası sırt ağrısı ve spinal bölgede hassasiyet olan
hastalarda akılda tutulması gereken önemli bir komplikasyondur.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Sırt ağrısı; kompresyon kırığı; osteoporoz; epilepsi; nöbet
ABSTRACT
In people with epilepsy injuries are more common due to the
direct effect of epilepsy and/or comorbid conditions. Excessive and strong
muscle contractions that occur during the tonic phase of the seizure force the
bones and may cause fractures. Abdominal and paraspinal muscle contractions
cause significant vertebral axial loading resulting in vertebral compression
fractures (CFs). The following report describes a seizure-induced
CF of the T5 vertebra without an external trauma. The painful CF, in this
case, led to the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Those with epilepsy have an increased
risk of vertebral/non-vertebral fractures and vitamin D deficiency
which is a well known risk factor for osteoporosis. Diagnosis of osteoporosis
and prevention of its complications are of critical importance in people
with epilepsy. Vertebral fracture is an important complication that should be
kept in mind in patients with back pain and tenderness in the spinal region
after an epileptic seizure.
