摘要：

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is a rare endocrine disorder most prevalent among individuals of Asian descent that presents as proximal muscle weakness, hypokalemia, and signs of hyperthyroidism. We present an unusual patient with previous normal thyroid function who had abused thyroxine as antiobesity'pills and developed periodic paralysis affecting the upper and lower limbs.
