    Author: Liang CM, Ho MH, Wu XY, Hong ZJ, Hsu SD, Chen CJ.
    Journal: Injury; 2015 Jan; 46(1):169-71. PubMed ID: 25174661.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a patient with thyroid storm exhibiting symptoms similar to those of traumatic injury. This patient presented multiple traumatic wounds on his limbs and face, loss of consciousness, and tachycardia. Diagnosis was initially confounded by the similarity between the symptoms of traumatic hypovolemic shock and trauma-induced thyroid storm. This case report discusses the factors leading to the diagnostic delay and highlights the dangerous manifestations of thyroid storm.
