Abstract
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an idiosyncratic reaction to the administration of neuroleptic drugs. The primary manifestations of this syndrome are hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, muscle rigidity, autonomic dysfunction, and altered level of consciousness. Because rhabdomyolysis and muscle rigidity can lead to swelling within a closed compartment, an unusual complication of NMS is compartment syndrome. 1 We report a case of a patient with neuromuscular malignant syndrome who developed bilateral forearm compartment syndromes.
