ABSTRACT
This paper, however, deals with a set of symptoms observed in four of the 52 patients-symptoms which we feel are apart from those in the thyroxine release syndrome. The uniformity of the signs and symptoms presented by the four patients, the consistency in the time of appearance and the correspondence of the biochemical observations in all the patients excited our curiosity. It is possible that the four cases are those of a delayed, severe or atypical thyroxine release syndrome. They seem more likely to be what many would call cases of thyroid storm or thyroid crisis a vague and ill defined syndrome which has defied understanding. (Author)
