Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis

Abstract:

We report a 33-year-old man was evaluated because of hypokalemic periodic paralysis as the initial clinical manifestation of thyrotoxicosis. This condition has been mainly reported in Asians and is extremely rare in Afro-Americans as well as in the Latin population. We believe this is the first case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis reported from Ecuador.
