- Abstract
Neuroleptic Malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but potentially fatal adverse effect of antipsychotics. In addition, hypernatremia may play a significant role before occurrence of NMS or it may develop secondary to acute renal failure. Herein we report the case of a 27 year old male patient who developed NMS with hypernatremia and acute renal failure following treatment with olanzapine.
