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