His sX-ray shoulder showed bilateral comminuted humeral head fracture, which was confirmed by CT of shoulders, see figure 1.He was started on AEDs from a seizure perspective. His neuroimaging, which included an MRI brain (epilepsy protocol) and electroencephalogram (EEG), were normal, see figure 1.
