    Background:

    • Catatonia is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome.
    • Catatonic stupor presents a significant challenge in inpatient psychiatric settings.

    Observation:

    • Two psychiatric inpatients developed catatonic stupor.
    • These patients subsequently developed staphylococcal pneumonia and venous thrombosis.

    Findings:

    • Catatonic stupor was associated with life-threatening complications, including pulmonary embolism.
    • The cases highlight a dangerous link between catatonia and severe medical issues.

    Implications:
