Abstract
Dislocation and instability of the shoulder joint are rare occurrences in childhood. Traumatic, infectious, congenital, and
neuromuscular causes of pediatric recurrent shoulder dislocations are reported before. Central nervous system infection in
infancy may be a reason for shoulder instability during childhood. This situation, which causes a disability for children, can be
treated successfully with arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder and postoperative effective rehabilitation protocols. Tuberculous
meningitis may be a reason for neuromuscular shoulder instability. We describe a 12-year-old child with a recurrent anterior
instability of the shoulder, which developed after tuberculous meningitis at 18 months of age. We applied arthroscopic treatment
and stabilized the joint.
