    Author: Tartaglione S, Iorio N, Pontarelli E.
    Journal: Minerva Psichiatr; 1992; 33(1):45-50. PubMed ID: 1406160.
    Abstract:
    The paper defines neuroleptic malignant syndrome and analyses its incidence, predisposing factors, etiology, pathological anatomy and pathogenetic hypotheses. Symptomatology consists of three principal symptoms: extrapyramidal symptoms, hyperthermia, deregulation of the autonomic nervous system. The differential diagnosis of other similar conditions is outlined together with a proposal for a treatment protocol. Emphasis is laid on the importance of prevention.
