Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a rare but serious condition. Early recognition and intensive treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Context:

  • Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a rare, life-threatening condition.
  • It is associated with antipsychotic medication use.
  • Characterized by hyperthermia, autonomic instability, and muscle rigidity.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics of NMS in ten patients.
  • To identify risk factors and outcomes associated with NMS.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

Summary:

  • Ten patients diagnosed with NMS were analyzed.
  • The majority of cases (90%) involved Haloperidol.
  • Mortality was 20%, often linked to respiratory failure and delayed ICU admission.
