Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1988
We present the case of a 21-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with an episode of profound weakness due to thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, a syndrome of muscular weakness occurring in patients with hyperthyroidism. Prior to the diagnosis, the patient was treated with a parenteral tranquilizer.

A case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is reported in a Hispanic man with an unusual recurrence six weeks after radioactive iodine treatment. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis has now been well characterized in the literature: it occurs primarily in Orientals with an overwhelming male preponderance and a higher association of specific HLA antigens ...

Abstract In an Oriental patient with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, six weeks of therapy with reserpine alone returned the pulse rate to normal and reduced nervousness but did not prevent the attacks of periodic paralysis. These observations imply that hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system is not an essential feature of the mechanism by ...

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is a thyroid-related disorder that is manifested as recurrent episodes of hypokalemia and muscle weakness lasting from hours to days. The periodic paralysis has been associated with thyrotoxicosis from various etiologies. Although the incidence of the disorder is relatively higher among Asians, it has been reported in many

Euthyroid Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis
Military Medicine, 1991Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a dramatic complication of thyrotoxicosis usually seen in young men with untreated Graves' disease. We report the case of a 29-year-old active duty man with TPP attacks atypical in that they occurred during and after resolution of the hyperthyroidism.

Studies in thyrotoxic periodic paralysis
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1971Abstract A new case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is described. Prior to treatment by subtotal thyroidectomy, paralysis was induced by a variety of measures which acutely decreased the serum potassium concentration. The magnitude of the potassium ion shifts was not consistent with the degree of clinical paralysis, nor did the serum potassium
