“…Hypokalemia is defined as a serum potassium level lower than 3,5mmol / l. This ionic disorder is frequently seen in emergency departments; it reaches over 20% of hospitalized patients [1], the severity is less than that encountered in hyperkalemia but can have major clinical consequences [2]. The occurrence of paralysis during hypokalemia depletion is rare [3,4], it reaches only 3, 4% of patients with hypokalemia.…”

Abstract:Hypokalemia is a very frequent metabolic disorder seen in emergency medicine, paralysis related to depletion hypokalemia is rare. We present the case of a 22 years old male patient who presented with flaccid quadriplegia after vomiting. After potassium supplementation the patient completely recovered. We will explain through this case the pathogenesis of this paralysis and different pitfalls that must be avoided.
