Editorial Comment: Recurrent Episodes of Weak Spells in a 15 Year Old Boy

This case report with the rather extensive discussion does not require much comment but there are 2 additional points I wish to make: This patient was referred to a neurologist by the cardiologist with the request that he evaluate and recommend therapy for the episodes of weakness only to be told that this was not periodic paralysis (PP), as the K level was not altered during the spells.
