Abstract

Bartter syndrome is a rare disease which presents in childhood which is characterized by hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. We report a case of 42year old male who presented with quadriparesis and weakness of neck. Investigations were suggestive of Bartter syndrome. We report this case because adult variant Bartter is rare.
