Özet:

 

Thyroid storm is a rare and fatal condition characterized by severe clinical manifestations of thyrotoxicosis. In geriatric patients, care should be taken in the follow-up of thyrotoxicosis due to comorbid diseases. Therapeutic plasmapheresis is an apheresis method that separates plasma from the components and removes the harmfull substances from the blood. This method may clear thyroid hormones from the blood and is recommended as an alternative option in the treatment of thyroid storm. In this case, we aimed to present an old patient with known alzheimer's disease and multinodular goiter induced thyrotoxicosis. The patient who could not get the first line treatments completely due to complications and were finally diagnosed with thyroid storm, recovered with therapeutic plasmapheresis treatment without any problem and was discharged.
