RESUMEN
La parálisis periódica hipopotasémica tirotóxica (PPT) es una rara complicación de la tirotoxicosis caracterizada por la aparición de episodios de debilidad muscular asociados a hipopotasemia en pacientes con hipertiroidismo, más frecuentemente con enfermedad de Graves-Basedow. El tratamiento con antitiroideos y suplementos de potasio revierte la sintomatología de debilidad muscular y evita la reaparición de estos síntomas (AU)
ABSTRACT
Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon complication of thyrotoxicosis, characterized by attacks of generalized muscular weakness associated with hypokalemia in patients with hyperthyroidism, most frequently with Graves-Basedow disease. Treatment with antithyroid drugs and potassium supplements reversed the symptoms and the episodes of acute muscular weakness did not reappear (AU)
