Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a clinical syndrome characterized by excess vomiting, dehydration and weight loss associated high human chorionic gonadotropin levels, usually occurring in the first trimester of gestation. It often presents with severe electrolyte imbalance, mental confusion and may be associated with thyroid dysfunction. We are describing the management of one such case riddled with multiple metabolic events.Entities:
