The objective was to present a case of silent thyroiditis presenting as periodic paralysis. A 23-year-old man presented with recurrent acute flaccid predominantly proximal weakness of all four limbs. He had a similar episode 3 weeks back. [annalsofian.org]

  He had no weakness of extraocular muscles, no muscle tenderness. His higher function and sensory and cerebellar functions were within normal limits. His respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal examination revealed no obvious abnormalities. [annalsofian.org]

• Petechiae

• Suicidal Ideation

  After developing lithium-induced nephropathy following 5 years of treatment, treatment was discontinued; however, lithium was resumed 1 month later due to suicidal ideation. [psychiatryadvisor.com]

• Hand Tremor

  A physical examination may show: Enlarged thyroid gland that is not painful to the touch Rapid heart rate Shaking hands (tremor) Tests that may be done include: Radioactive iodine uptake Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 TSH Erythrocyte sedimentation rate C-reactive [nlm.nih.gov]

• Fine Tremor

  There was no goiter or fine tremor. Recurrent episodes of flaccid paralysis followed by quick recovery were suggestive of periodic paralysis. His routine hematological study was normal except a high first-hour ESR of 68 mm/h. [annalsofian.org]

  Common signs of thyrotoxicosis include the following: Weight loss despite increased appetite Lid lag and stare Sinus tachycardia Atrial fibrillation or high-output failure (in elderly persons) Fine tremor Muscle weakness Synergism occurs between thyrotoxicosis [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Quadriplegia

  However, her neurological symptoms deteriorated with floppy quadriplegia and deep coma. She gradually recovered. On day 36, she was discharged without any neurological symptoms or thyrotoxicosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Flaccid Paralysis

  Recurrent episodes of flaccid paralysis followed by quick recovery were suggestive of periodic paralysis. His routine hematological study was normal except a high first-hour ESR of 68 mm/h. [annalsofian.org]

Although she denied our advice to admit herself, she underwent a thorough medical workup. Our patient's medical history was significant for diagnoses of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypertension and hyperlipidemia at the age of 48. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

• Sinus Arrest

  Initially, fluid therapy was started, but she lost consciousness and had a cardiac arrest for 2 minutes due to prolonged sinus arrest. Chest compression and manual artificial ventilation were performed, and body surface pacing was started. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 28-year-old woman with thyroid hemiagenesis, who had been diagnosed as having Graves' disease, became pregnant during the course of methimazole treatment. The treatment was terminated in the second trimester. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Its etiology is uncertain; however, a few reports have indicated the occurrence of TSH binding-inhibiting immunoglobulins (TBII) and thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb) in some of the patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
