Hypokalaemia with paralysis: don't forget the thyroid.

Concetta Catalano1, Graziella Caridi, Maria Concetta Postorino, Giuseppe Enia.   

Abstract

The authors report the case of a 33-year-old Italian man who had three episodes of hypokalaemia with paralysis linked to hyperthyroidism. Because of its low prevalence in western populations, the diagnosis of thyrotoxic hypokalaemic periodic paralysis can be easily missed in non-Asian countries.
