Abstract
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) represents an acquired form of hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) in which attacs of weakness occur, often precipitated by rest after strenuous exercise or a high-carbohydrate load. TPP is more prevalent in Asians than non-asians. Despite a higher incidence of hyperthyroidism in females, over 95 percent of TPP occur in males. Any cause of hyperthyroidism can be associated with TPP. Graves’ disease is the underlying disorder in most of cases with TPP as it is the cause in most of cases with hyperthyroidism. We report a 28-year-old male presenting TPP with very low potassium level.
Highlights
Telemedicine has rapidly grown in remote areas of the United States as a pragmatic resource continuing to garner a heightened acceptance and utilization in the medical community
The challenges presented in clinical settings and implementation of telemedicine present legal and diagnostic barriers that hinder the further integration of telemedical services in the neurology specialty [1,2]
By combining these review articles with the scarce body of clinical research on patient experience and outcome of using Teleneurology, this review aims to provide an updated synthesis of the multifactorial and overarching conclusions from the primary bodies of research
