Abstract
A 66 yr old man suffering from primary hyperaldosteronism is reported. In this case the disease is manifested clinically by periodic paralysis and hypopotasemia without permanent myopathy. The morphological study of the muscle demonstrates selective atrophy of the type 2A fibers as the most pronounced alteration. A chronic myopathic process is suggested.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
