DENIS, Amado et al. Neuroleptic malignant-like síndrome. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2017, vol.4, n.2, pp.49-53. ISSN 2312-3893. https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2017.04(02)49-053.
Neuroleptic malignant-like syndrome or akinetic crisis is a rare and potentially lethal complication of the withdrawal of medication of patients with Parkinson's disease. We present the clinical case of 52-year man with 10-year history of Parkinson's disease who is being treated with levodopa-carbidopa. He consults for decreased level of consciousness and general muscular rigidity, related to the withdrawal of the medication 7 days before the onset of symptoms.
Palabras clave : neuroleptic malignant syndrome; Parkinson's disease; dopaminergic receptors; dopaminergic drugs.
