Gitelman syndrome presenting with lower limb paralysis: a case report
Clinical history and biochemical findings helped in expediting the final diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome. With prompt electrolyte repletion, the patient regained full function and sensation in his lower limbs. Owing to the limited number of reported Gitelman syndrome cases within the Middle East and North Africa region, it is critical to increase exposure and knowledge of Gitelman syndrome.
