ABSTRACT
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a severe complication that mainly occurs based on neuroleptic drug treatment and characterized with some autonomic symptoms, altered mental state, hyperthermia and muscle rigidity. Amisulpride is a unique atypical antipsychotic that selectively blocks D2 and D3 receptors presynaptically in the frontal cortex and atypical antipsychotics are rarely caused neuroleptic malignant syndrome(NMS).This study examine a 20-years old male with the diagnosis of acute psychotic disorder occurred amisulpride-induced NMS and successfully treated with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). We decided to present that case because of the fact that there is only limited number of amisulpride-induced NMS cases reported in the literature.
