[Malignant neuroleptic syndrome in a 15-year old girl after a single injection of a high-dose neuroleptic].
The malignant neuroleptic syndrome is a rare and fatal iatrogenic syndrome which requires rapid and effective symptomatic treatment in a somatic hospital, possibly in an intensive care unit. Relatively little medicine (neuroleptics) is employed in child psychiatry and the syndrome is, therefore, rare in child psychiatric departments. A well-defined syndrome is concerned and it is important to be able to recognise and diagnose this.
