Abstract

Dyspnea due to thyroid storm in an emergency service Thyroid storm (TS)is a metabolic condition which is usually seen in patients with undiagnosedor poorly-treated hyperthyroid diseases. Although this condition is a com-mon metabolic condition, the incidence of TS in emergency services is rare.Even though there has been advancement in treatment modalities, TS stillhas a mortality rate of 20-40%. This high mortality and morbidity rate couldbe reduced by early diagnosis and treatment. Here in we present a TS patientadmitted to our emergency service due to dyspnea.

Özet

Tiroid fırtınası klasik olarak öncesinde tanı konmamış veya kötü tedavi edilmiş hipertiroidik hastalarda görülen, yaşamı tehdit eden, hipermetabolik durumdur. Tiroid fırtınası sık tartışılan bir konu olmakla beraber acil serviste görülme sıklığı nadirdir. Tedaviye rağmen mortalite halen %20-40 civarındadır.Ancak erken tanı ve tedavi ile mortalite ve morbiditenin azaltılabileceği belirtilmektedir. Biz acil servise solunum sıkıntısı şikayeti ile gelen ve tiroid fırtınası tanısı konulan bir olguyu sunduk.
