Background: Thyroid storm is a life-threatening Endocrine emergency with an incidence rate of 1% to 2% all over the world. It is a systemic condition leading to increased production of Thyroid Hormone and its release leading to Thermoregulatory, Adrenergic, Neuropsychiatric, Cardiovascular, and Abdominal Manifestations. Thyroid storm with Malignant Arrhythmia and delirium both together is rare entity, but the mortality rate is very high. The presentation of Malignant Arrhythmias and delirium together in the initial phase of the disease is much less common with only a few isolated cases described in the scientic literature. Objective: To present a case in which a patient had two simultaneous complication of thyroid storm i.e. delirium and ventricular tachycardia. Case Study: We report a 65 years-year-old man who came with complaints of Diarrhea, Fever, Breathlessness and psychosis. His serum tsh was <0.015 and anti tpo antibodies was 83. He was diagnosed to be in Thyroid storm and later had complications including Ventricular Tachycardia and delirium in an undiagnosed case of Hyperthyroidism. He was started on anti thyroid medication and slowly as his condition improved he was discharged. Conclusion: Patients with Thyrotoxicosis need to be closely monitored for complications since its early diagnosis and treatment may save lives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
