title: Propofol safely used in a neuroleptic malignant syndrome patient.
abstract: Anaesthetic regimens for patients with the poorly understood neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) are not well outlined. In this case report, NMS and its questionable relation to malignant hyperpyrexia are outlined. Satisfactory use of total intravenous anaesthesia, based on propofol, in an NMS-susceptible patient is presented.
