Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Southern Medical Journal, 1984Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an unusual disease that may begin dramatically. Although terrifying to the patient, the attacks can usually be controlled if the proper diagnosis is made. Although much has been done to determine the pathogenesis, many questions remain unanswered.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis
Pediatric Emergency Care, 1988We report two cases of hypokalemic periodic paralysis in children presenting to the emergency department with diffuse weakness and no antecedent history of neurologic disease. The literature is briefly reviewed. Any child with acute weakness and normal mental status should undergo serum potassium determination to allow prompt diagnosis and therapy.

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis or Hypokalemic Muscle Weakness?
Archives of Neurology, 1981To the Editor— Bennet and Forman, in their recent report of a case of chronic toluene exposure that had caused tubular dysfunction, loss of potassium, and muscle weakness (Archives1980;37:673), used the term "hypokalemic periodic paralysis" to describe the disease.

Recognizing thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis
JAAPA, 2018ABSTRACT Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis (THPP) is a rare but potentially serious complication of thyrotoxicosis. The resulting muscle weakness is profound, associated with more severe hypokalemia, yet reversible. However, clinicians must be cautious because patients can develop life-threatening hyperkalemia during treatment ...

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Archives of Neurology, 1979To the Editor.— Hypokalemic periodic paralysis has been treated in many ways, such as by the use of potassium supplements and spironolactone to increase the patient's level of potassium 1 and most recently by the use of acetazolamide. 2 This last method is thought not to alter potassium metabolism 3 but rather to work through the creation of metabolic

Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Archives of neurology, 1974Exercise can abort or postpone attacks of weakness in familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (FHoPP). To determine its effect during established attacks, muscle contraction was produced by electrical stimulation of the ulnar nerve during attacks of weakness in two sisters with FHoPP.
