Remarkable CT features of shock thyroid in traumatic and non-traumatic patients

Shock thyroid is a part of the hypovolemic shock complex, which is a constellation of secondary computed tomographic (CT) findings that are observed in patients with hypovolemic shock. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has only been a single report on this condition, which described three cases associated with significant thoracoabdominal trauma. Here, we report four patients with profound hypotension who exhibited similar CT findings as those described in the initial report on shock thyroid, but with a more diverse clinical spectrum.
