Cover Story: We present a rare case of hypokalemic paralysis caused by barium poisoning. The patient experienced profound hypokalemia, having a serum potassium concentration of 1.9 mmol/L; this was followed by rebound hyperkalemia, reaching 5.4 mmol/L after aggressive potassium repletion. The patient achieved complete recovery without sequelae. Barium poisoning blocks potassium efflux via inward rectifier channels and may enhance sodium permeability, increasing Na+–K+ pump activity. Rapid correction of hypokalemia is crucial, and serum potassium concentrations should be closely monitored to prevent rebound hyperkalemia. View this paper
