Hypokalemic periodic paralysis(HypoPP) is characterized by an abrupt onset of flaccid paralysis with a clear mentality, but muscles of speech and swallowing are usually spared. We report on three patients who suffered attacks of acute paralysis. After exclusion of central nervous system involvement, the patients showing hypokalemia was diagnosed as hypokalemic periodic paralysis, which was completely reversible on parenteral potassium substitution.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (PP) is the most common acquired form of PP in Asian populations, and its cardinal and biochemical abnormality is hypokalemia. We describe a 39-year-old man who had acute bilateral limb motor weakness and paresthesia, and showed normokalemia during attack. Thyroid studies showed subclinical thyrotoxic Goiter. Control of the hyperthyroidism nearly eliminated his PP. Regardless of normokalemia, our patient might be a case of hypokalemic PP because of improvement from anti-thyroid medication.
