Abstract
Central hyperthermia occurs due to lesions in the thermoregulatory center caused by brain injury or stroke; however, it is uncommon in demyelinating diseases. It is known to poorly respond to antipyretics, and its occurrence is associated with a poor prognosis. While there is no established treatment for central hyperthermia, recent reports highlight successful management with bromocriptine. We present a case of hyperthermia arising from lesions in the medulla in a patient with aquaporin 4 antibody positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
