Case study : Neuroleptic-induced catatonia as a stage in the progression toward neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Abstract Neuroleptic-induced catatonia is reported in an adolescent patient who responded successfully to lorazepam. The authors propose five discrete stages toward the progression of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, each with a separate treatment.
