Laboratory findings are inconsistent owing to acute disruption of the normal steady state of the circulating hormones and there is no definitive value that separates thyrotoxicosis from thyroid storm. The latter is a clinical diagnosis, and a scoring system has been proposed to guide the likelihood ...
Patient presentation, diagnosis, and treatment will be examined, along with diagnostic scoring tools and specific medications used in the management of thyroid storm. As part of the evidence contour we will assess other less commonly used therapies for thyroid storm, including l-Carnitine and ...

Cancer derived from thyroid follicular epithelial cells is common; it represents the most common endocrine malignancy. The molecular features of sporadic tumors have been clarified in the past decade. However the incidence of familial disease has not been emphasized and is often overlooked in routine ...
Main body: Thyroid storm is a clinical diagnosis characterized by hyperpyrexia, tachyarrhythmias, congestive heart failure, gastrointestinal and neuropsychiatric disturbances. However, diagnostic scoring systems have not been validated in pregnancy. Treatment involves specialist consultation, supportive care, ...
Case reportBACKGROUND Thyroid storm is a life-threatening emergency.Reportedly,the prevalence of thyroid storm is 1%-2%among patients admitted to the hospital for thyrotoxicosis.Burch and Wartofsky(1993)introduced a scoring system using precise clinical criteria to identify thyroid storms.Only 17 cases...
Careful investigation of patient history and risk factors of trauma-related thyroid storms and utilization of the scoring system may facilitate early diagnosis. Traumatically induced thyroid storm usually responds to medical treatment developed for hyperthyroidism. Surgical intervention may be needed for ...
Because serum T4 or T3 values cannot be used to differentiate thyrotoxicosis from thyroid storm, the diagnosis must be made on clinical grounds. Burch and Wartofsky have developed a clinical scoring system to standardize the diagnosis based on the severity of thermoregulatory dysfunction, central ...
