    A case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in a 24-year-old male with hyperthyroidism is presented. Clinical manifestations included progressive symmetrical weakness that led to flaccid paralysis due to hypokalemia with concurrent thyrotoxicosis. Intravenous administration of potassium chloride resulted in complete regression of the symptoms of muscle weakness and paralysis. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon complication of thyrotoxicosis, which primarily occurs in Orientals, with a high male predominance, and has rarely been described in Caucasians.U radu je prikazan 24-godiÅ”nji muÅ”karac s napadajem periodične paralize u hipertireozi. Prikazan je bolesnik s progresivnom simetričnom slaboŔću koja je dovela do mlohave paralize uslijed hipokalijemije tijekom tireotoksikoze. Nakon parenteralnog dodatka kalija (intravenskom primjenom kalijevog klorida) doÅ”lo je do potpunog povlačenja simptoma miÅ”ićne slabosti i paralize. Hipokalijemična periodična paraliza rijetka je komplikacija tireotoksikoze opisana u stanovnika Dalekog Istoka, i to prvenstveno u mlađih muÅ”karaca, a iznimno se rijetko javlja u bijelaca
