Abstract:
Flaccid paralysis is a neurological syndrome characterized by weakness and paralysis of the limbs, followed by reduced muscle tone. Common causes of flaccid paralysis include blockage of the anterior spinal artery, trauma to the spinal cord, cancer, arterial disease, or thrombosis. A potential differential diagnosis in a 35-year-old male presenting with sudden-onset flaccid paralysis with no history of trauma is hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Treatment with potassium can alleviate symptoms in affected patients. .
摘要:
弛缓性麻痹是一种神经系统综合征,其特征是四肢无力和瘫痪,其次是肌肉张力降低。弛缓性麻痹的常见原因包括脊髓前动脉阻塞,脊髓创伤,癌症,动脉疾病,或血栓形成。一名35岁男性出现突发性弛缓性麻痹且无外伤史的潜在鉴别诊断是低钾性周期性麻痹。用钾治疗可以减轻受影响患者的症状。.
