Treatment of neuroleptic malignant syndrome with electroconvulsive therapy.

A Lazarus.   

Abstract

A case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome unresponsive to supportive medical therapy was successfully treated by electroconvulsive therapy. Electroconvulsive therapy may offer a safe and rapidly effective intervention in cases of neuroleptic malignant syndrome complicated by high fever and severe muscular rigidity which do not improve with supportive care.
