Thyroid crisis , thyroid storm;the exacerbation of symptoms that occurs in thyrotoxicosis following shock or injury or after thyroidectomy; marked by rapid pulse (140 to 170 per minute), nausea, diarrhea, fever, loss of weight, extreme nervousness, and a sudden rise in the metabolic rate; coma and death may occur; occasionally the entire clinical picture is that of profound prostration, weakness, and collapse, without the phase of muscular overactivity and tachycardia
