This transient and episodic neurological condition is commonly associated with thyrotoxicosis. We report a case of young female admitted with recurrent paralytic attacks since last 1 year. She had no symptom of hypothyroidism. She had weakness of all four limbs, delayed relaxation of ankle jerks, and normal higher mental function. There was no enlargement of thyroid. Serum potassium level ranged from 1.6 to 3.2 meq\/L during attack with high serum creatine phosphokinase level. Electromyography was normal. The patient was diagnosed having chronic thyroiditis with high thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid-related antibodies. Follow up shows satisfactory result with thyroxine replacement. It is an extremely rare and unusual presentation of hypothyroidism, probably the fourth reported case of hypothyroidism with hypokalemic paralysis, to the best of our knowledge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/2230-8210.107880","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,27]],"date-time":"2013-02-27T00:53:50Z","timestamp":1361926430000},"page":"174-176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Recurrent hypokalemic paralysis: An atypical presentation of hypothyroidism"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Uma","family":"Sinha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Nilratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nilanjan","family":"Sengupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Nilratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keshab","family":"Sinharay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Nilratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pranab K.","family":"Sahana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Nilratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20260327","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1177\/0009922809332689","article-title":"Periodic paralysis as an unusual presentation of autoimmune hypothyroidism with goiter","volume":"48","author":"Bandhakavi","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clin Pediatr (Phila)"},{"key":"R2-20260327","first-page":"20","article-title":"Hypokalemic periodic paralysis: An unexpected finding of hypothyroidism","volume":"2","author":"Papa","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am J Clin Med"},{"key":"R3-20260327","first-page":"100","article-title":"A case of hypothyroidism associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis","volume":"30","author":"Kinoshita","year":"1990","journal-title":"Rinsho Shinkeigaku"},{"key":"R4-20260327","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"256","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-1626-1-256","article-title":"Hypokalemic periodic paralysis: A case report and review of the literature","volume":"1","author":"Soule","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cases J"},{"key":"R6-20260327","first-page":"1297","article-title":"Hypokalemic muscle paralysis","volume":"31","author":"Bagga","year":"1994","journal-title":"Indian Pediatr"},{"key":"R8-20260327","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"692","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2010.104026","article-title":"Spectrum of hypokalaemic periodic paralysis in a tertiary care centre in India","volume":"86","author":"Maurya","year":"2010","journal-title":"Postgrad Med J"},{"key":"R9-20260327","first-page":"246","article-title":"Aetiological, clinical and metabolic profile of hypokalaemic periodic paralysis in adults: A single-centre experience","volume":"19","author":"Rao","year":"2006","journal-title":"Natl Med J India"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/02223308-201317010-00033","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T19:37:18Z","timestamp":1786649838000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/02223308-201317010-00033"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/2230-8210.107880","relation":{},"ISSN":["2230-8210","2230-9500"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2230-8210","type":"print"},{"value":"2230-9500","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]}}}
