Thyrotoxicosis has various clinical manifestations, ranging from its usual features to some rare presentations. Thyrotoxicosis presenting as acute quadriplegia is a very rare phenomenon and is attributed to hypokalemia. Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a known but rare manifestation, and a first presentation is relatively unknown in the past. Here, we present a case of middle-aged Asian male in whom thyrotoxicosis presented for the first time as hypokalemic paralysis.
