A case report of neuroleptic maliganant syndrome was documented. A 54 year old woman had 2 week history of neuroleptic drug (haloperidol) therapy for her recent psychiatric symptoms. She developed high fever, stupor and muscle rigidity with leucocytosis and raised serum creatine phosphokinase. Investigations revealed no source of systemic infection and lumbar puncture showed no definite evidence of infection. She was successfully treated with bromocriptine and supportive procedure. She gained her consciousness four days later in spite of complication with pneumonia. She was discharged home after 5 weeks of admission with normal sensorium. Literature review for this syndrome was done extensively.
