A case of triiodothyronine (T3) toxicosis associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis is reported. Thyrotoxic manifestation was minimal except for mild struma. Serum T3 levels were moderately elevated, though other thyroid function tests were within the normal range. The patient was treated with methimazole, and paralytic attacks ceased. This is the first report of this combination and the necessity of careful thyroid function tests in sporadic periodic paralysis is emphasized.
报告了一例与低钾性周期性麻痹相关的三碘甲状腺原氨酸（T3）中毒病例。除轻度甲状腺肿外，甲状腺毒症表现轻微。血清T3水平中度升高，尽管其他甲状腺功能检查在正常范围内。患者接受甲巯咪唑治疗后，麻痹发作停止。这是该组合的首例报告，并强调了在散发性周期性麻痹中进行仔细甲状腺功能检查的必要性。
