A 40-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with psychotic symptoms and marked hypothermia. He was known to have had a macroadenoma of the pituitary gland which had been excised 10 years before. No information about his current medication was available. Several hours after admission the patient developed signs of acute cardiac failure and cardiogenic shock. He was admitted to the intensive care unit, intubated and treated with vasoactive drugs. Later investigations revealed that the patient had stopped his hormonal therapy (hydrocortisone and thyroxine) at least 3 months previously.
