    Background:

    • Hypokalemic flaccid tetraplegia is a rare neuromuscular disorder.
    • Thyrotoxicosis, or hyperthyroidism, can present with various systemic symptoms, including neurological manifestations.
    • The interplay between thyroid dysfunction and electrolyte imbalances leading to paralysis requires further investigation.
