    Author: Mizuta E, Yamasaki S, Nakatake M, Kuno S.
    Journal: Neurology; 1993 May; 43(5):1048-9. PubMed ID: 7605396.
    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) despite lack of levodopa withdrawal. She experienced two episodes characterized by indomethacin-resistant hyperthermia, hyperhidrosis, and aggravation of parkinsonism. The symptoms, however, disappeared during menstruation. We suggest that the development of NMS may depend, in part, upon the hormonal state.
