Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Withdrawal neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a not widely recognised variant of the rare adverse consequence of neuroleptic medication, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). We present a case to bring the disorder to the attention of clinicians responsible for treating serious mental illness and medical and judicial officers who may be involved in investigating serious untoward incidents occurring within a mental health care setting.
