[Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis].
A 50-year-old man with thyrotoxicosis complained of recurrent bouts of weakness. On admission all his voluntary muscles were paralyzed except for those of the face, and hypokalemia was found. Thyrotoxic, hypokalemic periodic paralysis is very rare among Caucasians. This is the first case to be reported from Israel.
