Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Medline NLM definition : A potentially fatal syndrome associated primarily with the use of neuroleptic agents (see ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS) which are in turn associated with dopaminergic receptor blockade (see RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) in the BASAL GANGLIA and HYPOTHALAMUS, and sympathetic dysregulation. Clinical features include diffuse MUSCLE RIGIDITY; TREMOR; high FEVER; diaphoresis; labile blood pressure; cognitive dysfunction; and autonomic disturbances. Serum CPK level elevation and a leukocytosis may also be present.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Background - incidence ~ 1% of patients on neuroleptics - also occurs in Parkinson’s disease patients with sudden decrease in dosage of dopaminergic agents - most commonly within 3-9 days of initiation of therapy but can occur at any time during treatment or with dose increase - thought to be an idiosyncratic drug reaction., NOT thought to be related to dose or duration of treatment - can occur with typical and atypical/newer antipsychotics, but greater risk with high potency dopamine antagonists, such as haloperidol Pathophysiology Two major theories: 1. Dopaminergic depletion or blockade in basal ganglia (tone) and hypothalamus (thermoregulation) 2. Primary skeletal muscle defect similar to malignant hyperthermia. Clinical features NO DEFINITE DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA MAJOR = - the absence of these findings puts the diagnosis into question MINOR = tachycardia, abnormal BP (high or labile), tachypnea, altered LOC, diaphoresis, leukocytosis (10-40 with left shift) - classic triad = hyperthermia

Strategies for patients who are suspected of having ACUTE Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) Updated (2003) by Ronald Gurrera, M.D., Associate Chief of Psychiatry and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School at the Brockton VAMC and Harvard South Shore Psychiatry Residency Training Program Click here for Strategies for patients with a past history of NMS Incidence and mortality. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) occurs in approximately 0.1% of hospitalized patients treated with antipsychotic medications. When it was first recognized more than 40 years ago, the mortality rate was 10% or greater. Improved clinician education, leading to more prompt and effective clinical intervention, is credited with a dramatic reduction in the lethality of the disorder over time. Nonetheless, patients with acute NMS can be gravely ill, and fatalities still occur. Diagnosis. The syndrome is characterized by a tetrad of clinical signs: hyperthermia, increased muscle tone, labile autonomic hyperactivity, and altered mental status. Diagnostic criteria vary from one academic institution to another, but those provided by the appendix in DSM-IV are reasonable. The diagnosis of NMS is generally one of exclusion, as patients at risk for NMS often have one or more potentially treatable medical processes (e.g., infection) capable of producing clinical findings that can be confused with NMS. Etiology and pathogenesis.

Abstract: The case of a patient with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and delayed fever is presented. The patient was on lithium and trilafon before presentation to the emergency department with altered sensorium, rigidity, drooling, and tachycardia. The patient remained afebrile for 9 hours in the emergency department. He responded to treatment involving discontinuation of neuroleptics and bromocriptine. Typically NMS presents with a tetrad of fever, rigidity, altered sensorium, and autonomic dysfunction. This case is an example of NMS with delayed fever. A review of the literature on neuroleptic malignant syndrome is also presented. [References: 48] Unique Identifier: 94216671 Authors: Totten VY. Hirschenstein E. Hew P.
