- Abstract
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a syndrome that is caused by side effects of anti-psychotic drugs and can be life threatening. Pathophysiologically, central dopaminergic system, muscle cell membrane dysfunction and sympathetic nervous system are thought to have a role. Due to its life threatening potential, it necessitates early emergency treatment. Because these cases usually come to the emergency department due to fever and change in consciousness, they may take wrong diagnoses. As soon as the diagnosis is confirmed, the anti-psyhotic drug should be discontinued and supportive treatment should be started. We presented a case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome which is developed after administration of risperidon treatment 1 mounth ago.
