Neuroleptic Malignant SyndromeNeuroleptic Malignant Syndrome General InformationNeuroleptic Malignant Syndrome or NMS is a very rare life-threatening neurological disorder. It is also the most serious and it is all the time a neurological emergency. What causes it is negative reaction to antipsychotic or neuroleptic drugs. Within two or three weeks after the treatment with this drug is started, the disorder develops rapidly. However, the affliction can also appear any time during the period after the therapy is on. It is believed, not really supported with trustful evidences that the disease can result from hereditary conditions, other drugs, psychological or environmental factors. It also occurs with all drugs that have an effect on the central dopaminergic system, only if they are taken in a reduced dosage. These are the cases of people who take anti-Parkinsonism drugs. Isolated cases were reported referring to patients on trycyclic medication. But in their cases, when it is needed, the same agent can be given again without recurrence because the reaction it is likely idiosyncratic. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome occurs in patients of any age and sex that receive neuroleptics, but more cases of men patients were discovered. The progress of the disease is quite fast and touches its higher level in about three or four days. This period can vary from one hour to 70 days. If Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome is mild, it can be cured without medical intervention, but it can also last from 10 hours to 50 days or longer if there is a parental medication. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome SymptomsA serious problem of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome is that symptoms can be sometimes wrongly interpreted by the doctors, so that the treatment is delayed. They are mistaken with symptoms of mental illnesses. The symptoms are stable; usually the same and they first appear with a rigidity of the muscles, followed by some changes in cognitive functions and high fever. It is necessary to seek immediate medical guidance because these signs may develop rapidly into some more adverse effects in a couple of days (usually in three days). The symptoms may also vary from confusion, delirium, tumors of the muscles, to coma and an unstable blood pressure. The symptoms persist from ten hours to more than forty days, depending on the medication and occur in people taking neuroleptic dugs. The increased muscular activity will raise CPK (creatinine phosphokinase) plasma concentration. In more than 50% of the cases, it may be reported as a non-generalized slowing on an EEG. Some patients may suffer from metabolic acidosis and may be hypertensive. Because of the muscle rigidity that causes hypoventilation, some patients report dyspneea, a difficulty in walking or dysphagia. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome involves some involuntary movements, seizures, chorea or opisthotonis. Sometimes there can be hyperthermia (with temperature over 38 ºC). Some patients present an altered consciousness, confusion, agitation or other mental status alterations. Incontinence, tachycardia, salivation or sweating in excess, tremor, fluctuating BP and pallor are manifestations of an automatic instability. When these symptoms aggravate, they increase the mortality risk because a person could easily suffer from a diffuse intravascular coagulation, cardiovascular collapse, arrhythmias, respiratory failure or myoglobinuric renal failure.Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome TreatmentWhen we refer to methods of treatment for Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, we must specify that intensive care is required as soon as possible. If the diagnose it not certain, it is useful to consult with a neurologist. It is important to identify Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome on time and treat it adequately and aggressively because you can reduce the risk of death, although it is not known yet an exact rate for mortality (studies show that may vary from 5% to 80%). A treatment is not necessary all the time. This syndrome can resolve on its own in about four to ten weeks if there without any therapy, but with an active treatment the improvement may appear in several days (in two to five days). Always a therapy against Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome starts with interrupting the neuroleptic. A first move is to stop the patient from taking any antipsychotic or neuroleptic drugs and to make the fever go away. As in other diseases, the treatment depends on the severity and stage of the syndrome. The specialists will start any therapy by trying to stabilize the metabolite using cooling blankets that will reduce hyperthermia and to keep the patient well hydrated. Sometimes it may be necessary to consult with a nephrologist if the patient presents a renal dysfunction or a rhabdomyolysis; a dialysis is needed in this cases. Ventilatory or circulatory support is also helpful for some persons. Before proceeding with any treatment it is very important that the doctor take a history of the patient. While administrating neuroleptic medication to a patient it is needed to monitories him or her because dehydration or excessive agitation may occur. A treatment with oral drugs lasts about more than a week and from two to four weeks for parental medication. Intravenous fluids are used to correct the hypotension and the volume depletion. Among the numerous and effective medications that are used, bromocriptine (given by NG tube or orally until a response is seen or the dose of 65 mg is reached) and Dantrolene sodium (given orally or intravenously) are more popular and can be used either separate or combined. These two drugs stop Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome from developing and reduce best the risk of death. It is recommended and proved scientifically that it is better if you start a therapy with these two drugs simultaneously (oral bromocriptine and intravenous Dantrolene) and hardly after some improvements appear, the bromocriptine is maintained and the Dantrolene stopped. Other alternative treatments are with pergolide, levodopa, ECT (more rarely) or benzodiazepines. There are some exceptions if Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome occurs in persons with other diseases. For example, the treatment is mainly the same in the setting of Parkinson's disease with the specification that parkinsonian drugs must be re-instituted very soon. In the case that the neuroleptic must be reintroduced a period of waiting is strongly recommended. For parental medications this period should last longer than 6 weeks and for oral medications the time needed is almost two weeks. |
