MeSH definition : A heterogenous group of inherited disorders characterized by recurring attacks of
rapidly progressive flaccid paralysis or myotonia. These conditions have in common

muscle. They are frequently associated with fluctuations in serum potassium levels.
Periodic paralysis may also occur as a non-familial process secondary to THYROTOXICOSIS
and other conditions. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1481);
