Thyrotoxicosis is a constellation of symptoms including palpitations, tremors, agitation, and heat intolerance, caused by excess thyroid hormone. It can be life-threatening in its most serious form. We present a rare case of thyrotoxicosis provoked by mechanical trauma to the neck via strangulation in a young female with a history of self-resolving postpartum symptoms of hyperthyroidism one year prior, but no formal diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction. Although hyperthyroidism and posttraumatic stress have many similar features, thyroid storm is a life-threatening disorder that needs immediate intervention.
甲状腺毒症是一组由甲状腺激素过多引起的症状，包括心悸、震颤、烦躁和不耐热。其最严重的形式可能危及生命。我们报告了一例罕见的甲状腺毒症病例，该病例发生在一名年轻女性身上，她一年前曾有过自行缓解的产后甲亢症状，但未被正式诊断为甲状腺功能障碍，此次因颈部受勒颈机械性创伤引发甲状腺毒症。尽管甲亢和创伤后应激有许多相似特征，但甲状腺危象是一种需要立即干预的危及生命的疾病。
