Abstract
Thyroid storm (TS) is a rare and life-threatening condition that carries an extremely high mortality rate up to 20% when treated and 100% if untreated. TS can have a variety of presentations, but it most commonly occurs with altered mentation, cardiovascular dysfunction, thermoregulatory dysfunction and at times gastrointestinal or hepatic dysfunction. TS can develop in patients who have long-standing untreated hyperthyroidism and is usually precipitated by an acute inciting event such as an infection, medication, or trauma.
