Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is characterized by a classic triad of muscle paralysis, hypokalemia, and hyperthyroidism. The underlying thyroid disorder is often very subtle making it challenging to recognize TPP. It is a completely reversible condition if diagnosed early; however, it is associated with fatal outcomes if delayed.
甲状腺毒症性周期性瘫痪(TPP)的特征是典型的三联征,即肌肉麻痹、低钾血症和甲状腺功能亢进。潜在的甲状腺疾病通常非常隐匿,这使得识别TPP具有挑战性。如果早期诊断,它是一种完全可逆的疾病;然而,如果延误诊断,则会导致致命后果。
