Electromyographic Finding in Periodic Paralysis
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Periodic Paralysis is a rare disease defined as recurrent episodes of flaccid paralysis which may occur in inherited or in sporadic forms.
According to the plasma K+ level during attack, periodic paralysis can be classified as Hypokalemic, Hyperkalemic and Normokalemic type.
Weakness or paralysis are caused by conduction block in neuromuscular junction and along the muscle membrane.
3 cases of Hypokalemic periodic paralysis and 1 case of probable Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis are presented with blood chemistry, urinalysis, EKG, muscle biopsy and with EMG findings during attacks compared with normal status.
