It is a medical emergency, as fatal and life-threatening @entity943 associated with @entity1371 has been reported. A 24-year-old @entity1 presented with severe lower @entity425 , which progressed to his trunk and arms. He denied any associated symptoms and had no history of a similar episode or predisposing condition. The physical examination was significant for bilateral @entity425 , more severe in the lower as compared to the upper extremities. The rest of the neurologic exam was normal. A small, smooth, nontender @entity5651 was palpated. Laboratory data was significant for a @entity972 level of 2.0 mEq/L. Final lab data revealed a thyroid panel consistent with @entity1378 . Once the @entity1 's @entity972 level normalized after repletion, he recovered his strength and was able to walk again. He was diagnosed with @entity3935 periodic @entity912 , a potentially lethal complication of @entity1378 . Because it is reversible with treatment of @entity1378 , it is imperative that this condition be considered, recognized and managed appropriately.
