title: [A case of malignant neuroleptic syndrome with rhabdomyolysis and a therapeutic trial using physostigmine].
abstract: We report the case of a 22-year-old schizophrenic patient who developed a neuroleptic malignant syndrome under treatment with Benperidol, Levomepromazin and Biperiden. Clinical signs were: fever, rigidity, altered consciousness and rhabdomyolysis of hip-abductors. Intravenous injection of physostigmine led to clearing of consciousness, whereas there seemed to be no impact on fever and rigidity.
