Background and Purpose Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperKPP) is a muscle sodium-ion channelopathy characterized by recurrent paralytic attacks. A proportion of afected individuals develop fxed or chronic progressive weakness that results in signifcant disability. However, little is known about the pathology of hyperKPP-induced fxed weakness, including the pattern of muscle involvement. Te aim of this study was to characterize the patterns of muscle involvement in hyperKPP by whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods We performed whole-body muscle MRI in seven hyperKPP patients carrying the T704M mutation in the SCN4A skeletal sodium-channel gene. Muscle fat infltration, suggestive of chronic progressive myopathy, was analyzed qualitatively using a grading system and was quantifed by the two-point Dixon technique. Results Whole-body muscle MRI analysis revealed muscle atrophy and fatty infltration in hyperKPP patients, especially in older individuals. Muscle involvement followed a selective pattern, primarily affecting the posterior compartment of the lower leg and anterior thigh muscles. The muscle fat fraction increased with patient age in the anterior thigh (r=0.669, p=0.009), in the deep posterior compartment of the lower leg (r=0.617, p=0.019), and in the superfcial posterior compartment of the lower leg (r=0.777, p=0.001). Conclusions Our whole-body muscle MRI fndings provide evidence for chronic progressive myopathy in hyperKPP patients. Te reported data suggest that a selective pattern of muscle involvement—afecting the posterior compartment of the lower leg and the anterior thigh—is characteristic of chronic progressive myopathy in hyperKPP.
