Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
H. H. Morris 3rd, W. F. McCormick and J. A. Reinarz
The neuroleptic malignant syndrome is an uncommon, severe illness that
consists of fever, muscular rigidity, and stupor. Various neuroleptics have
been associated with the disease. A detailed neurological, medical, and
neuropathological evaluation of this case was performed. Presumably, the
syndrome is secondary to biochemical dysfunction of the basal ganglia and
possible of the hypothalmus.
