Acute flaccid quadriparesis secondary to hyperkalemia is a very rare and serious but reversible medical emergency. We present a case of a 73-year-old female who was admitted with rapidly progressive ascending paraparesis progressing to quadriparesis in about 10 h due to hyperkalemia. Patient was treated with antihyperkalemic measures. Her power improved dramatically as potassium levels normalized and she had an uneventful recovery.
高钾血症继发的急性弛缓性四肢瘫是一种非常罕见且严重但可逆转的医疗急症。我们报告一例73岁女性患者，因高钾血症入院，出现快速进展的上行性双下肢瘫，约10小时内进展为四肢瘫。患者接受了抗高钾血症治疗。随着血钾水平恢复正常，她的肌力显著改善，康复过程顺利。
