    "title": "Case Report: Pediatric Thyroid Storm Presenting to the Emergency Department with Afebrile Seizure",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p><b>Introduction: </b>Seizures are a common presenting complaint and account for approximately 1% of total emergency department (ED) visits. Seizures are especially common in children less than five years old as they have a lower seizure threshold as compared to adults. One potentially dangerous etiology that is far less common, especially in children, is thyroid storm, the extreme manifestationof hyperthyroidism.</p><p><b>Case Report: </b>We describe the case of a 3-year-old girl who presented to the ED with an afebrile seizure but was found to be in thyroid storm. This case should serve as a reminder for emergency physicians to consider thyroid disease when evaluating patients presenting with seizures.</p><p><b><b>Conclusion: </b></b>Although most pediatric seizures are self-limited and frequently benign, it is imperative that the emergency physician evaluate for and rule out any potentially associated dangerous conditions such as thyroid storm. </p>",
