  • Title: Case study. Risperidone-Induced neuroleptic malignant syndrome in an adolescent.
    Author: Robb AS, Chang W, Lee HK, Cook MS.
    Journal: J Child Adolesc Psychopharmacol; 2000; 10(4):327-30. PubMed ID: 11191694.
    Abstract:
    Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a potentially fatal complication of neuroleptic therapy, characterized by fever, rigidity, mental status changes, and autonomic instability. Although NMS was previously associated with the use of high-potency neuroleptics, cases have begun to emerge with atypical neuroleptics. This article presents a risperidone-induced case in the youngest patient to date, raising issues concerning our perceptions, the safety of newer neuroleptics, and treatment of NMS.
