Thyrotoxicosis is a hypermetabolic condition caused by an elevation in thyroid hormone levels. The disorder has a variety of\ncauses, manifestations, and therapies. Several clinical features of thyrotoxicosis are due to sympathetic stimulation with increased\nbeta-adrenoreceptor upregulation and sensitization to catecholamine. Anaesthetic management of thyrotoxicosis patients using\nneuraxial block has been described in literature; however, to our knowledge, there are no reports of peripheral nerve block\nutilization. Here, we report on the anaesthetic management of a patient with thyroiditis-associated thyrotoxicosis undergoing\nemergency surgery via a femoral and sciatic nerve block.
