Abstract :
Circulatory shock is a life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by hypotension, tachycardia and symptoms of end-organ damage/ failure. Hypovolemic, cardiogenic, distributive, obstructive and neurogenic shocks are the main types of circulatory shock. To find/diagnose the cause and to give the accurate treatment according to the underlying event are crucial in the management of circulatory shock. Herein we present an interesting shock case with unknown etiology which underlines the importance of detailed anamnesis and systemic examination (1).
