Seizures are a common presenting complaint in acute medicine and post-ictal patients can pose a diagnostic challenge. Approximately 1% of patients presenting after a seizure will have sustained a fracture. Delayed diagnosis is common and can lead to worse functional outcomes. A case of occult bilateral neck of femur fracture secondary to seizure is presented together with a review of the literature.
