In theory if pressure points are struck hard enough it can cause paralysis and death. Lots of martial arts claim that they can do it but when you push them for examples they can rarely produce any.
Personally, I fought in a tournament once and my opponent landed a very hard shot on the back of my right calf (as in body part, not animal) below my knee cramped and went dead and I had to fight the rest of the match basically hopping on one leg.
I have also had my arm numbed by a shot to the forearm nerve too.
Possibly similar very hard strikes to the nerves in the head and throat would cause serious damage but very hard strikes to the throat and head cause serious damage anyway.
