Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis as an Initial Presentation of Graves’ Disease Induced by Acute Alcohol Intake

Abstract:
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare medical emergency, that presents with acute muscle weakness or paralysis in the setting of hypokalemia and thyrotoxicosis. We highlight the case of a patient who presented with acute onset flaccid quadriparesis induced by acute alcohol intake in undiagnosed Graves’ hyperthyroidism.
