Lee Elizabeth Wachtel1, Margaret Merrie Griffin, Dirk Marcel Dhossche, Irving Michael Reti.   

Abstract

A 14-year-old male with autism and mild mental retardation developed malignant catatonia characterized by classic symptoms of catatonia, bradycardia and hypothermia. Bilateral electroconvulsive therapy and lorazepam were required for resolution. The case expands the occurrence of catatonia in autism into its malignant variant.
