ABSTRACT
Thyroid storm is a life-threatening clinical condition that is usually triggered by untreated or interrupted treatment of Graves' disease, leading to the sudden onset of severe thyrotoxicosis, which requires an immediate diagnosis and treatment based on diagnostic criteria. Cases of thyroid storm caused by painless/painless subacute thyroiditis are very rare. We herein report an 85-year-old man with features of severe thyrotoxicosis caused by painless/painless subacute thyroiditis who had no uptake of 99mTcO4 and was negative for thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies. In thyroid storm patients in whom the findings are inconsistent with Graves' disease, careful follow-up and management are necessary, assuming the possibility of painless or painless subacute thyroiditis.
