Impact of first-line treatment choice on long-term outcomes of hyperthyroid Graves’ disease patients with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis

摘要

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a unique manifestation of Graves’ disease. While it is uncommon in Asian, it is extremely rare in Caucasian patients (0.1–0.2%). Previous studies suggested that TPP indicate more severity of Graves’ disease and definitive treatments should be used to prevent relapses.
