Abstract

Abstract: A 46-year-old female was subjected to unilateral left adrenalectomy due to Cushing's syndrome 5 months ago. After surgery, she was placed on glucocorticoid substitution and discontinued the treatment due to nausea and vomiting 3 weeks ago. Then she developed subacute thyroiditis and progressed to thyroid storm. Her condition worsened after administration of propylthiouracil and β-blockers, but was soon relieved by administration of glucocorticoids.

Key words: thyrotoxicosis, thyroid storm, subacute thyroiditis, Cushing's syndrome
