    Author: Milite CP, Golob DS.
    Journal: Conn Med; 2000 Apr; 64(4):195-7. PubMed ID: 10812764.
    Abstract:
    A rare complication of hyperthyroidism consists of sudden diffuse muscle weakness associated with severe hypokalemia. The clinical presentation is similar in most respects to familial periodic paralysis; however, the therapies proven to be effective differ in the two syndromes. A case of thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is presented and the literature is reviewed.
