ABSTRACT
Myasthenia gravis and hypokalemic periodic paralysis are commonly related with hyperthyroidism but rarely occur together. Here, the authors reported a case of hypokalemic periodic paralysis in a Northeastern Thai woman accompanied with myasthenia gravis. She had motor weakness despite a normal level of serum potassium. Prostigmine test was positive. She dramatically improved after pyridostigmine treatment. Autoantibodies to nicotinic AchR-Ab and dihydropyridine receptor or L-type voltage gated calcium channel were postulated to explain these associated diseases.
