Sumario:We report a case of reversible symptomatic rhabdomyolysis associated with thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis. The patient had neither past medical nor family history of either disorder. The presenting neurological symptoms and signs, serum potassium, and creatine kinase levels returned to normal without specific treatment. Based on previous case reports, we attributed the combination of the disorders to a mutation of the calcium-gated channel (CACN) gene and its related encoded proteins.
