The diaphragm is a chief muscle of inspiration. Its paralysis can lead to dyspnea and can affect ventilatory function. Diaphragmatic paralysis can be unilateral or bilateral. The clinical symptoms are more prominent in bilateral diaphragm paralysis. Ventilatory failure and cor pulmonale are usually seen in severe cases.

Hypokalemic paralysis is not just a hypokalemic paralysis
European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2008Although the commonest form of hypokalemic paralysis is the hereditary variety, some patients during course of thyrotoxicosis or with chronic potassium depletion, may exhibit episodic weakness. Approach to the patient with hypokalemic paralysis should be a careful search for the etiology and potassium replacement therapy.In this report, two hypokalemic

Tick paralysis results from inoculation of a toxin from tick salivary glands during a blood meal. It is a relatively uncommon neuromuscular disease with a higher prevalence among young girls, although older men who get exposed to ticks may also be affected. It typically presents as an acute ascending paralysis occurring a few days after tick attachment

Hypokalemia that leads to paralysis is extremely rare in children. We report a case of a young child with genetically inherited periodic hypokalemic paralysis. Hypokalemia should be considered in a child with acute onset of muscle weakness.

This article discusses peripheral facial paralysis of nontraumatic origin. The term idiopathic facial paralysis is used generically, in place of the often ambiguous term, Bell's palsy, to indicate all types of peripheral facial palsy/paralysis for which no cause is apparent.

AbstractDetailed knowledge of embryology, anatomy, and function of the facial nerve is essential in treating the devestating functional, aesthetic, and psychological sequelae of facial paralysis. Two basic factors influence the method of repair and the subsequent outcome of the effort to combat facial paralysis.

Periodic paralysis is a rare, dominantly inherited disorder of skeletal muscle in which episodic attacks of weakness are caused by a transient impairment of fiber excitability. Attacks of weakness are often elicited by characteristic environmental triggers, which were the basis for clinically delineating subtypes of periodic paralysis and are an ...
