Malignant Syndrome or Withdrawal Reaction?
We report on a case of a female patient who had serious side effects from treatment with clozapine and chlorpromazine and the appeared to have a withdrawal reaction from cessation of clozapine. During the treatment process she was misdiagnosed as having malignant syndrome. This case highlights the importance of clinicians being able to distinguish malignant syndrome from withdrawal reactions, a...
متن کاملLevodopa withdrawal and the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
Levodopa withdrawal and the neuroleptic malignant syndrome Sir, In the paper: 'Levodopa withdrawal syndrome identical to neuroleptic-malignant syndrome' (Gibb & Griffith, 1986) the authors suggested that sudden withdrawal of dopaminergic drugs precipitated the development of neuroleptic-malignant syndrome (NMS) in their patient. However, it is difficult to reconcile the wide range of this patie...

A 60 year old woman with idiopathic Parkinson's disease had been prescribed thioridazine for schizophrenia. Five months after this was stopped, Sinemet also considered of dubious therapeutic value, was withdrawn. One week later she developed features of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) accompanied by myoglobinuric renal failure. Post-mortem examination confirmed Lewy body degeneration i...
متن کاملDesigning a deep brain stimulator to suppress pathological neuronal synchrony
Some of neuropathologies are believed to be related to abnormal synchronization of neurons. In the line of therapy, designing effective deep brain stimulators to suppress the pathological synchrony among neuronal ensembles is a challenge of high clinical relevance. The stimulation should be able to disrupt the synchrony in the presence of latencies due to imperfect knowledge about parameters of...
متن کاملDyskinetic Storm Induced by Intra-Operative Deep Brain Stimulator Placement
Transient dyskinesia induced by deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) has previously been reported as an intra-operative side effect usually indicating excellent lead placement and a positive outcome. Generally, stimulation-induced dyskinesia occurs contralateral to the side of stimulation. We report a case in which a patient developed a severe bilateral “dyskinetic storm” u...
