Case Reports
Hypokalemic quadriparesis associated with renal tubular acidosis in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome.
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune exocrinopathy that involves both glandular and extra-glandular systems. We report a 25-year-old woman who had rapidly progressive quadriparesis. ⋯ Salivary gland biopsy revealed Sjögren's syndrome as the underlying cause. She recovered following from quadriparesis potassium and alkali replacement.
