- W4384692620 abstract "Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in either calcium or sodium transmembrane voltage-gated ion channels of skeletal muscle or endoplasmic reticulum. Most cases of HypoPP are associated with a mutation in the gene encoding a calcium channel, the CACNA1S gene. Mutations in the channels create leakage currents that disrupt resting potential and depolarize the muscle fiber resulting in transient flaccid paralysis and low extracellular potassium (K+). Patients experience episodes of muscle paralysis typically provoked by exertion and diet. Treatment focuses on the prevention of such episodes with carbonic-anhydrase inhibitors or potassium-sparing diuretics as well as to treatment of acute episodes with oral K+ supplementation. Due to the rarity of the disease, the literature surrounding the disease and pharmacological management is limited. We present a case of two adolescent brothers who present with a confirmed diagnosis of periodic episodes of paralysis and are seeking treatment. Both brothers experience paralytic episodes provoked by acute changes in diet and exercise. However, the lack of literature and treatment guidelines surrounding the disease emphasizes the importance of documenting cases and the effectiveness of treatment outcomes. Additionally, it reminds providers to keep HypoPP on the differential when faced with a young patient experiencing paralytic episodes." @default.
