ABSTRACT
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life-threatening neurologic emergency associated with the use of dopamine receptor-antagonist properties or the rapid withdrawal of dopaminergic medications. NMS is characterized by refractory hyperpyrexia, altered mental state, dysautonomia, and rigor. If hyperpyrexia persists, it can result in multiorgan failure. Herein, we report a case of NMS occurring after metoclopramide administration in a patient with pontine hemorrhage, which was successfully treated with targeted temperature management using a surface cooling device.
