Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis (TPP): A Comprehensive Review with Regional Insights from the Middle East

An emergency department (ED)-focused approach that routinely considers TPP in acute flaccid paralysis, integrates rapid thyroid function testing, and follows structured potassium replacement and β-blocker protocols can reduce diagnostic delay and improve outcomes. Incorporating regional data may help tailor awareness campaigns and management pathways in Middle Eastern and other underrepresented settings.

Abstract

An emergency department (ED)-focused approach that routinely considers TPP in acute flaccid paralysis, integrates rapid thyroid function testing, and follows structured potassium replacement and β-blocker protocols can reduce diagnostic delay and improve outcomes. Incorporating regional data may help tailor awareness campaigns and management pathways in Middle Eastern and other underrepresented settings.
