Abstract
Cardiothyreosis is a rare and serious complication of thyroid disease. We report a case that is unique in its inaugural clinical picture (status epilepticus) due to late diagnosis and iatrogenic drug which precipitated the patient in an array of congestive heart failure where therapeutic management was limited by insufficient technical facilities leading to death.
