  • Title: The neuroleptic malignant syndrome and its differentiation from lethal catatonia.
    Author: Fleischhacker WW, Unterweger B, Kane JM, Hinterhuber H.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Scand; 1990 Jan; 81(1):3-5. PubMed ID: 2184638.
    Abstract:
    Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and lethal catatonia are potentially life-threatening diseases with similar clinical features, including fever, akinesia and rigidity. Differential diagnosis is difficult but possible by exact clinical observation and a detailed history of the 2 weeks prior to the onset of illness.
