Background: Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is an endocrine emergency caused by thyrotoxicosis, manifesting mainly as periodic myasthenia and hypokalemia, and posing a serious threat to the patient's health. Fatigue, strenuous exercise, alcohol abuse, high carbohydrate intake and insulin injections are common triggers of paralysis. This article reports a case of severe TPP induced by insulin injection, elucidates the characteristics and pathogenesis of the disease, analyses the risk factors for triggering TPP, and hopefully provides more clinical data for TPP patients.

variants can alter the structure and function of the calcium channel, resulting in abnormal calcium influx and homeostasis. It is well established that pathogenic variants in can lead to hypokalemic periodic paralysis, malignant hyperthermia, and congenital myopathy. Nevertheless, the clinical presentations and disease progression of exertional myalgia and weakness associated with variants remain elusive.
