    Abstract:
    A case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis based on clinical grounds, laboratory data and therapeutic response as well is reported. The authors comment on the differential diagnosis with the most frequent types of periodic paralysis. The importance of a correct diagnosis and treatment as early as possible is stressed as to prevent further development of permanent paralysis due to irreversible degenerative myofibril changes as stated in literature.
