RESUMO
A 40 year old male victim of a road traffic accident presented to our emergency trauma services with multiple limb injuries and a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 15/15. Soon after admission, he became confused, stuporous, febrile and tachycardic. A clinical diagnosis of thyrotoxic crisis precipitated by trauma was confirmed by relevant investigations, with appropriate therapeutic response. A review of the clinical features and management of this rare medical emergency, with only few cases reported worldwide, is presented.
