Abstract

Thyroid storm, also known as thyrotoxic crisis is an acute, rare life-threatening condition of thyroid gland; possessing 100% mortality when it’s not treated in time. Thyroid storm coexisting with respiratory failure further can contribute to this mortality. Respiratory collapse can be irreversible. This is an endocrine emergency first described in 1926. This is important to recognize it early and treat to reduce mortality. Herein, we review a case of 75 years of male who developed Cardio-respiratory failure while he was manifesting clinical features thyroid storm.
