Akut hipokalemik paralizi ve hipofosfatemi ile başvuran Crohn olgu sunumu

Elliüç yaşında erkek hasta kaslarda güçsüzlük ve hipokalemik paralizi ile acil servise başvurdu. Hastanın başvuru esnasında hiçbir gastrointestinal semptomu olmamasına rağmen, yapılan araştırmalar sonucunda Crohn hastalığı tanısı aldı. Bu olgu bildiğimiz kadarı ile gastrointestinal semptomu olmadan hipokalemik paralizi tanısı alan literatürdeki ilk olgudur. Crohn hastalığı nutrisyonel eksiklikler ve metabolik hastalık ile başvuran hastaların ayırıcı tanısında düşünülmelidir.

A Crohn’s patient presenting with acute hypokalemic paralysis with hypophosphatemia: Case report

53 years old man admitted to the emergency service with the history of muscle weakness and hypokalemic paralysis. Although the patient had no gastrointestinal symptoms at presentation, he investigated for the underlying cause and he diagnosed Crohn’s disease. As far as we know this is the first case with hypokalemic paralysis caused by Crohn’s disease, without gastrointestinal symptoms in the literature. Crohn’s disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with nutrient deficiencies or metabolic disease.
