Abstract
Periodic paralysis is a group of illness characterized by episodic attacks of muscle weakness with complete or nearly complete recovery of strength between attacks. In hypokalemic form, serum potassim level is usually low during the paralytic phase. But the basic defect is unknown. We have experienced a case of hypokalemic periodic paralysis in a 7-year-old girl who had intermittent attacks of flaccid paralysis of the trunk and limb muscles in association with decreased serum potassium level. The diagnosis was established by clinical features, blood chemistry, and electromyographic findings. We report a case of hypokalemic periodic paralysis with a brief review of literatures.
