Periodic paralyses.

Abstract
The periodic paralyses are a group of muscle diseases with abnormalities of channels. These abnormalities result in paralysis or weakness with or without poor relaxation of muscle. Hypokalemic periodic paralyses, potassium-sensitive periodic paralyses, and paramyotonia congenita are reviewed. The clinical findings, pathophysiologic abnormalities, diagnostic evaluations, and possible treatments are included in this article.
