Periodic hypokaliemic paralysis is an usual cause of severe hypokaliemia. Thyrotoxicosis periodic paralysis (TPP) is less common. Incidence is high in Asian people and rarely reported in caucasian people. We describe the case of a young caucasian male, with a TPP. Clinical symptoms of hypokaliemia are strong, when thyrotoxicosis symptoms appear only on blood tests. The clinical course is good with beta-blockers and antithyroid treatment. These treatments induce a total clinical and biological cure. In all the cases of hypokaliemic paralysis, even without symptom, an hyperthyroïdia must be searched for.
