ABSTRACT
A woman admitted with psychotic depression developed a number of physical problems. Urinary incontinence, headache, neck stiffness and breathing difficulties were all treated separately but were later found to be part of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Treatment of the disorder led to complete recovery. We review the criteria for diagnosis of this serious disorder and some differential diagnoses.
