N2  - We report a case of severe neuroleptic malignant syndrome with hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis and hepatic failure where we applied endovascular cooling in order to reverse hyperthermia. After rapid normalization of core temperature at 37.5 degrees C, the patient's condition improved and CK levels dropped. However, upon withdrawl of endovascular temperature control there was a relapse. This is the first case where endovascular cooling was applied successfully in neuroleptic malignant syndrome.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
