DUARTE, Jorge Ludwing e SANABRIA, Álvaro. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2011, vol.36, n.3, pp.145-148. ISSN 0120-2448.
We recorded the case of a 39 year-old man who suffered two episodes of paralysis and hipokalemia associated with hyperthyroidism. This unusual entity, almost exclusively of asian countries, has been documented in western countries; therefore, we present this case to be considered in the differential diagnosis in emergency departments (Acta Med Colomb 2011; 36: 145-148).
Palavras-chave : thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis; hyperthyroidism.
