Abstract:
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, but a potentially life threatening condition associated with the use of antipsychotics. The most frequent signs and symptoms of NMS include fever, muscle rigidity, autonomic dysfunction such as tachycardia, tachypnea, and labile blood pressure. Acute complications of NMS include disseminated intravascular coagulation, sepsis, seizure, myocardial infarction, acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis and death. We report a rare case of acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
