Abstract

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening process in which a systemically dysregulated activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis causes thrombosis and hemorrhage. The systemic activation seen in DIC is commonly secondary to conditions such as sepsis, malignancy, hemolysis, and trauma but rarely thyroid storm. Thyroid storm is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by hyperthyroidism, tachycardia, altered mental status, fever, and cardiovascular compromise. We present a case of thyroid storm leading to DIC.
