ABSTRACT
Thyroid storm is a life-threatening condition associated with multiorgan dysfunction and decompensation. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman having Graves' disease presented with thyroid storm complicated with liver dysfunction and portal hypertension in the absence of congestive heart failure or known liver disease. After successful therapeutic management, all biological, clinical and morphological abnormalities regressed.
Graves' disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman with Graves' disease who presented with reversible liver dysfunction and high blood pressure in the portal vein (located in the abdomen) following the withdrawal of her treatment.
