Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
An acute, life-threatening exacerbation of thyrotoxiosis. This condition is rare now due to more efficient diagnosis and treatment of thyrotoxicosis in addition to improved management pre and post surgery. When it does occur, it is following illness, trauma, surgery or other major physiological stress in an individual with existing thyrotoxicity. Thyroid storm occurs most commonly in those with uncontrolled or undiagnosed thyrotoxicity without a precipitating factor. Individuals with a history of hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, adenoma or any other cause of endogenous thyrotoxicity are at the highest risk for experiencing a thyroid storm.
