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.
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.
