Abstract
We present the case of a previously healthy man in whom acute psychosis masked the major symptomatology of thyroid storm. This patient highlights the importance of taking into consideration a life-threatening condition, thyroid storm, in the differential diagnosis of acute psychosis, even in the absence of a history of thyrotoxicosis.
