The neuromuscular manifestations of thyrotoxicosis can be divided into two categories--myopathic and neuropathic. Chronic thyrotoxic myopathy is the most frequent form of muscle involvement. Acute thyrotoxic myopathy is uncommon but can be quite dramatic. The incidence of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is much higher in orientals than in caucasians. Exophthalmic ophthalmoplegia and myasthenia gravis are other disorders associated with thyrotoxicosis. Most of these conditions are reversible with adequate treatment of the underlying thyrotoxicosis.
甲状腺毒症的神经肌肉表现可分为两类——肌病性和神经病性。慢性甲状腺毒症性肌病是最常见的肌肉受累形式。急性甲状腺毒症性肌病不常见，但可能相当严重。甲状腺毒症性周期性瘫痪的发病率在东方人中比在白种人中高得多。突眼性眼肌麻痹和重症肌无力是与甲状腺毒症相关的其他病症。通过对潜在的甲状腺毒症进行充分治疗，这些病症大多是可逆的。
