Introduction: Autoimmune thyroid diseases are frequent and very polymorphic pathologies. The same person can successively present with different manifestations.

Introduction : In the spectrum of endocrine emergencies, thyroid storm is one of the most critical complications. Recognition and appropriate management of life-threatening thyrotoxicosis is vital to prevent the high morbidity and mortality that may accompany this disorder. The incidence of thyroid storm has been noted to be less than 10% of patients hospitalized for thyrotoxicosis; however, the mortality rate secondary to thyroid storm ranges from 20 to 30%. We report in this...
