Subluxation of cervical spine in major epileptic seizure due to cerebral schistosomiasis.
Subluxation of the cervical spine either with or without neurologic involvement as a result of epileptic seizure is a rare occurrence. Most of the literature reviewed deals with compression fractures of the spine effected by metrazol-induced convulsions or electroshock therapy for major psychosis. Of further interest in this case is the presumptive diagnosis of a cerebral lesion due to schistosomiasis as the cause of the seizure which produced the cervical subluxation with neurologic changes. The subluxation was reduced and stabilized by inter-body fusion.
