ABSTRACT: Bilateral dislocation of the shoulder is rare and still very rare when it
arises during the sleep due to an epileptic seizure. We report in this work the
case of a young 24-year-old patient not known epileptic before and who never has
a convulsive crisis. We discuss the mechanism of this uncommon variety of
shoulder dislocation and modalities of treatment.
