Abstract

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal complication of neuroleptic therapy is described. It is found to be associated with a variety of medical and psychiatric conditions. Various risk factors and non specific investigations pathognomic to various medical conditions has been proposed. The mortality and morbidity associated with NMS can be decreased with early recognition, early discontinuation of the neuroleptics and aggressive treatment.
