AB This  chapter  addresses  several  common  endocrine  emergencies  that  may  be  seen  in  pregnant  women.  While  most  endocrine  conditions  can  become  emergencies  if  ignored  or  untreated,  the  intention  of  this  chapter  is  not  to  exhaustively  review  endocrine  complications  in  pregnancy;  rather,  the  conditions  that  might  realistically  be  faced  in  an  ICU  situation  have  been  highlighted.  These  include  thyrotoxicosis  and  thyroid  storm,  hypothyroidism  and  myxedema  coma,  addisonian  crisis,  pheochromocytoma,  primary  hyperalderonism,  and  diabetes  insipidus.  Diabetes  mellitus  and  ketoacidosis  have  been  dealt  with  elsewhere.
