Thyroid storm represents a critical and life-threatening complication from hyperthyroidism, with a notable mortality risk. Limited literature reports have explored the correlation between thyroid storm and peri-myocarditis, although the precise pathophysiological underpinnings remain unclear. The pathophysiology of how thyroid storm and peri-myocarditis are associated is not clearly understood; however, unfavorable prognostic factors include atrial fibrillation and recurrent thyrotoxicosis. Here, we present a case concerning recurrent peri-myocarditis concomitant with a thyroid storm.
