Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis
Archives of Neurology, 1967IN 1886 Eulenberg 1 described "paramyotonia congenita," an inherited syndrome in which episodes of myotonia and weakness were induced by exposure to cold. A similar condition was reported independently by Rich. 2 During the ensuing years additional cases were published, emphasizing the myotonia rather than the episodic weakness which was also part of ...

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.

The periodic paralyses are a group of skeletal muscle channelopathies characterizeed by intermittent attacks of muscle weakness often associated with altered serum potassium levels. The underlying genetic defects include mutations in genes encoding the skeletal muscle calcium channel Cav1.1, sodium channel Nav1.4, and potassium channels Kir2.1, Kir3.4,

A case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is reported in a Hispanic man with an unusual recurrence six weeks after radioactive iodine treatment. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis has now been well characterized in the literature: it occurs primarily in Orientals with an overwhelming male preponderance and a higher association of specific HLA antigens ...

Abstract In an Oriental patient with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, six weeks of therapy with reserpine alone returned the pulse rate to normal and reduced nervousness but did not prevent the attacks of periodic paralysis. These observations imply that hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system is not an essential feature of the mechanism by ...

A young man with episodes characteristic of familial normokalemic periodic paralysis was restudied after a change in the nature of his attacks. He now has spontaneously occurring and provokable episodes of both hyperkalemic and hypokalemic periodic paralyses that are superimposed on a persistent myopathy.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is a thyroid-related disorder that is manifested as recurrent episodes of hypokalemia and muscle weakness lasting from hours to days. The periodic paralysis has been associated with thyrotoxicosis from various etiologies. Although the incidence of the disorder is relatively higher among Asians, it has been reported in many

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1986Generalized motor weakness is a common complaint in the emergency department and has a wide differential diagnosis that includes both organic and infectious etiologies. We report the case of a previously healthy young man with symptoms of muscular paralysis and associated hypokalemia.
