abstract="Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life-threatening neurologic disorder associated with the use of neuroleptic agents. NMS typically characterized by a distinctive clinical syndrome of mental status change, muscle rigidity, fever, and autonomic instability. Atypical cases may present without muscle rigidity and/or hyperthermia. Association of infection in atypical case can make the diagnosis challenging. We describe a case of NMS in a patient who presented with acute onset of altered mental status complicated with aspiration pneumonia.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
