Parálisis periódica hipocalémica: reporte de caso y revisión del tema

Primary periodic paralyses are rare channelopathies which include: hypokalemic periodic paralysis, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, and Andersen-Tawil Syndrome. These entities are characterized by attacks of generalized muscle weakness and recovery of muscle strength between attacks. A case is presented of a 21-year-old woman who presented a second episode of paralysis and documented hypokalemia, with no important antecedents, with no clinical or diagnostic test factors which explain her electrolyte disorder, with recovery of muscle strength after receiving treatment for hypokalemia. A review of the topic was conducted.
