Atypical presentation of thyroid storm: a diagnostic dilemma.

Thyroid storm (accelerated hyperthyroidism) is an uncommon life-threatening emergency. The diagnosis is difficult and at times delayed owing to atypical presentation. Early diagnosis is the key to its successful management. We came across a patient who had presentations of acute abdomen but later diagnosed in thyroid storm. Multiorgan involvement leads all resuscitative measures futile and prevented us to salvage the patient. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions.
