Abstract

Objectives: Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a potentially life threatening condition, uncommon in children, characterized by hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels, and autonomic instability. It is often precipitated by use of high dose neuroleptics. The purpose of this study is to raise awareness of the course and prognosis of NMS in a pediatric population to optimize strategies for early diagnosis and effective interventions.
