ABSTRACT

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), is a potentially life-threatening condition which is rarely seen during antipsychotic use. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is characterized by the imbalance of central neurotransmitters, in which a dopaminergic block is developed. Hyperthermia, muscular rigidity, tremor, autonomic dysfunction, an increase in serum creatine phosphokinase levels, leukocytosis, and altered mental status can be seen in this syndrome. In this study, we present a 50 year old woman with NMS that occurred during the use of extended release quetiapine, who had been diagnosed with atypical psychotic disorder for 5 years.

ÖZET

Nöroleptik malign sendrom (NMS), antipsikotiklerin kullanımı sırasında nadir görülen, potensiyel olarak yaşamı tehdit eden bir durumdur. NMS, dopaminerjik reseptörlerde blokaj gelişmesi ve santral nörotransmitterlerde dengesizlik oluşumu ile karakterize bir sendromdur. Bu sendromda hipertermi, kas rijiditesi, tremor, otonomik disfonksiyon, serum kreatin fosfokinazda yükselme, lökositoz ve bilinç değişiklikleri görülebilir. Bu yazıda, 5 yıldır atipik psikotik bozukluk tanısıyla takip edilen 50 yaşındaki kadın hastada uzatılmış salınımlı ketiapin kullanımı sırasında ortaya çıkan NMS olgusu sunulmuştur.
