The incidence of childhood-onset Basedow's (Graves') disease is approximately 5% of all cases. Herein, we report a teenage female patient diagnosed with childhood-onset Graves' disease immediately following general anesthesia. Her signs and symptoms included tachycardia immediately prior to general anesthesia, delirium upon emerging from anesthesia, persistent postoperative tachycardia and anxiety, and prolonged nausea and vomiting.
