Zusammenfassung:Unilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is the most common major joint dislocation seen by emergency physicians. Bilateral glenohumeral dislocations are rarely seen and almost always posterior after seizure or electrical shock. We present an unusual case of bilateral anterior dislocation of shoulder that had anterior dislocation of temporomandibular joint simultaneously. These problems occurred after a course of generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The coincidence of these dislocations is the first case published in the literature.
