Primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis (PHPP) is a rare entity first described by Shakanowitch in 1882. Only a few cases of PHPP have been reported in Indian literature in adults(l). In children hypokalemic paralysis secondary to gastroenteritis and chronic renal disease is much more common than primary disease(2).

متن کاملAcetazolamide-induced muscle weakness in hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
A 46-year-old man with hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) and diabetes mellitus (DM) had worsened muscle weakness after acetazolamide (ACZ) treatment. During the paralytic episode, serum potassium levels were reduced, and serum chloride and insulin levels were increased. The data suggested proximal renal tubular acidosis due to ACZ. We determined arterial-venous concentrations of potassium...

Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon complication of thyrotoxicosis, characterized by attacks of generalized muscular weakness associated with hypokalemia in patients with hyperthyroidism, most frequently with Graves-Basedow disease. Treatment with antithyroid drugs and potassium supplements reversed the symptoms and the episodes of acute muscular weakness did not reappear.
