  • Look Inside

 Familial hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and congenital paramyotonia have different clinical manifestations, but they have a common pathophysiology, Na channelopathy. Advanced molecular genetics disclosed various point mutations in familial hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. The pathophysiology of episodic paralysis of the muscles in this disorder is due to depolarizing block. Paramyotonia is a very rare disorder in Japan and myotonia occurs by cold exposure and in summer time the patients of this disorder scarcely present with any clinical manifestations and we tend to overlook this disorder. In paramyotonia the resting membrane potentials of the skeletal muscle depolarize and myotonia develops by cold exposure. As for treatment the patient requires Na channel blocker, mexiletine by mouth only during winter and he is able to carry out the daily activities with helps of this medication.
