A successful electroconvulsive treatment of neuroleptic malignant syndrome
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica
|March 1, 1987
Abstract:
A case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) treated successfully with electroconvulsive therapy (ETC) is described. Repeated exposures of the patients to succinylcholine during ECT did not cause malignant hyperthermia. The efficacy of ECT is probably related to its facilitatory effect upon dopamine (DA) activity in CNS.
