- Abstract
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare rapidly progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a complication of antipsychotic medications which may be used to treat neuropsychiatric symptoms of CJD. We present a case of a 51-year-old woman with CJD who developed NMS after being prescribed quetiapine.
