 A 17-years-old male presented to our emergency department with a complaint of bilateral shoulder pain and motion restriction. His past medical history was unremarkable for epilepsy or major trauma. His family members said that he was a sleepwalker since he was 5 or 6 years old and sometimes he was going to another place from his bed and when they saw him there were abrasions especially on his face and extremities. It was learned that he left the drugs given by the doctors for his complaint after using a short time. On his physical examination in the emergency department he appeared to be good, he was concious, cooperative and oriented to person, time and place. His vital signs and neurological examination were normal. His extremity examination revealed that his arms were slightly in abduction and external rotation. There was epaulet sign bilateral on his shoulders and his peripheral neurological examination was otherwise normal. The radiological evaluation revealed bilateral subchorocoidal anterior dislocation without signs of fracture (Figure 1)
