Abstract
- We report a case of severe neuroleptic malignant syndrome developing in a 28-year-old female patient following deliberate self-poisoning with atypical antipsychotic drugs and serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Because of an increasing loss of consciousness she was rapidly transferred to an Intensive Care Unit. Following this, she became progressively febrile associated with rhabdomyolysis and life-threatening organ dysfunctions. Due to fast diagnosis and immediate therapy the patient was treated successfully. This article describes etiology, pathophysiology and symptoms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. In addition therapeutic options are discussed.<br /> ((c) Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart-New York.)
