    Abstract:
    The neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a very rare but life-threatening complication of neuroleptic treatment. The mortality of NMS has been estimated at 8-30% and the most common cause of death is respiratory failure. Signs and symptoms of NMS are attributed to impairment of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. We describe two cases of NMS successfully treated with intravenous lisuride in combination with oral L-Dopa.
