Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an uncommon, life-threatening complication of treatment with neuroleptic drugs. Its main features are hyperthermia, extrapyramidal signs, and autonomic instability with fluctuating consciousness. It is believed that NMS is related to dopamine receptor blockade in the brain. We describe a case in a 52-year-old diabetic woman who developed NMS after taking
