Abstract
Three patients, one male and two females who developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome following exposure to depot and oral neuroleptic are presented. The patients satisfied Levenson's criteria for diagnosis. Bromocriptine and Electro Convulsive Therapy were found effective whereas trihexyphenidyl proved unsatisfactory in the treatment. All the patients recovered completely without complications.Entities:
