Abstract:
:We report the case of a 42 years old male, with a bipolar disorder and receiving lithium therapy, valproic acid and clonazepam. Due to an exacerbation of his underlying disease, he was admitted to a psychiatric clinic and received 50 mg of intramuscular chlorpromazine in two occasions. Afterwards, the patient had an alteration of consciousness, fever reaching 39 degrees C and generalized muscular rigidity. Laboratory work-up showed a normal brain CT scan, a diffuse slowness in the EEG and a creatinphosphokinase that reached values of 3.040 U/l. He was transferred to an intensive care unit and treated with sodium dantrolene and bromocriptine, obtaining a good clinical response.
