    Abstract:
    Neuroleptic malignant syndrome occurring in two Nigerians are reported. The features of this life threatening complication of treatment with neuroleptic drugs are highlighted with a view to emphasizing the need for the clinician to consider it a possibility in any febrile patient with a history of neuroleptic ingestion. The increased awareness will aid early diagnosis and prompt management which are necessary to prevent fatal outcome.
