Hypophosphatemia-Induced Neuropathy: Clinical and Electrophysiologic Findings
Muscle Nerve 21:650-652, Siddiqui,M.F. &Bertorini,T.E., 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Sever hypophosphatemia has rarely been reported as a cause of acute paralysis. We present the clinical and electrophysiological findings on a patient who developed quadriparesis following several surgeries for complicated cholecystectomy. The paralysis was most likely the result of severe hypophosphatemia causing a neuropathy which improved readily after proper phosphate replacement. The possible pathogenic mechanisms of hypophosphatemic neuropathy are discussed.
