ABSTRACT
Although the mortality has been reduced with aggressive approach, thyrotoxic storm or crisis is still a life-threatening condition and usually triggered by preeclampsia, placenta previa, congestive heart failure, infections and induction of labor during pregnancy. We report here a 28-year-old pregnant woman suspicious of placenta previa without a previous history of hyperthyroidism was admitted to the hospital with vaginal spotting and labor. After receiving a Cesarean section, thyrotoxic manifestations were developed and she became stable with antithyroid therapy. The second attack of thyrotoxic storm was presented after a thyroid ultrasonographic study. It appears that the vigorous examination of thyroid gland carries a significant risk of thyrotoxic crisis in poorly controlled hyperthyroidism.
