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.

Palavras-chave : neuroleptic malignant syndrome; Parkinson's disease; dopaminergic receptors; dopaminergic drugs.
