[Calamities in movement disorders].
The field of movement disorders largely covers subacute or chronic diseases that are usually treated in outpatient clinics. However, the much less frequent acute disorders require urgent recognition and treatment. The present article reviews the entities that frequently require neurointensive management and whose development can prove "calamitous". These include neuroleptic malignant syndrome and related conditions, status dystonicus, and hemiballism.
