abstract: Although neuroleptic malignant syndrome manifests consistently with hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and autonomic instability, heterogeneity exists in the onset, course, laboratory findings, response to treatment and pattern of resolution. Comorbid physical conditions tend to confuse the picture. We report a case of NMS with one such presentation.Although neuroleptic malignant syndrome manifests consistently with hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and autonomic instability, heterogeneity exists in the onset, course, laboratory findings, response to treatment and pattern of resolution.
