A 24 year old white woman presented with sudden onset of flaccid quadriparesis and hypokalaemia. She was later found to be thyrotoxic. Paralysis resolved with potassium supplements, and after initiation of antithyroid medication she had no further episodes of hypokalaemic paralysis. To the best of the authors' knowledge, and after a Medline search, thyrotoxic periodic paralysis has not been described previously in a white woman.
一名24岁的白人女性突然出现弛缓性四肢瘫痪和低钾血症。后来发现她患有甲状腺毒症。补充钾后瘫痪症状缓解,开始使用抗甲状腺药物治疗后,她未再出现低钾性麻痹发作。据作者所知,经检索医学文献数据库(Medline),此前尚无白人女性患甲状腺毒症性周期性瘫痪的相关描述。
