Abstract:
A case of schizophrenia with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) presented difficulties in differential diagnosis. However, the presence of severe galactorrhea contributed decisively to relate the clinical picture with the administration of neuroleptics. We propose that presence of galactorrhea or disorders in prolactin (PRL) secretion should be investigated in NMS.
