title: Carbamazepine and forme fruste neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
abstract: A woman developed rigidity, autonomic instability and altered consciousness after taking an overdose of trifluoperazine and carbamazepine. A diagnosis of NMS was made despite the absence of fever, as carbamazepine might modify the presentation of NMS.
