Hypermagnesemia is a rare electrolyte abnormality observed in the clinical setting. Patients with this condition can present with a variety of symptoms, depending on the level of serum magnesium. Hypermagnesemia is rarely complicated by weakness of the extremities. We report the case of 32 years old female patient who presented with bilateral upper- and lower-extremity weakness due to hypermagnesemia. Following correction of the serum magnesium level, extremity weakness subsided, and the patient was discharged with improvement. Here, we discuss the delay in the diagnosis and management of this type of clinical presentation.
高镁血症是临床中观察到的一种罕见的电解质异常。患有这种病症的患者可能会出现各种症状，这取决于血清镁水平。高镁血症很少并发四肢无力。我们报告了一例32岁女性患者，她因高镁血症出现双侧上下肢无力。血清镁水平纠正后，肢体无力消退，患者病情好转出院。在此，我们讨论这种临床表现的诊断和治疗延迟情况。
