Sacral fractures are underdiagnosed and often undertreated. We report the second case of presentation and surgical management of a 56-year-old man with traumatic sacral U-shape fracture secondary to a grand mal epileptic seizure. We then discuss risk factors and mechanism of such fracture in epileptic patients.
