Sympathoadrenomedullary hyperactivity in the neuroleptic malignant syndrome: a case report
The American Journal of Psychiatry
|August 1, 1981
Abstract:
The authors describe a patient with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome whose excessive catecholamine excretion indicates hyperactivity of the sympathoadrenomedullary component of the autonomic nervous system. Their finding provides a physiological basis for using catecholamine blocking agents to treat some patients with this syndrome.
