Case Report: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome in a 15-year-old female following of psychotropic drugs
This case highlights the complexity of diagnosing NMS in the context of polypharmacy, the potential for rapid rhabdomyolysis, and the rarity of vocal cord involvement. The successful use of plasmapheresis as an adjunct therapy suggests a possible role in severe NMS with organ dysfunction. Early recognition and individualized management remain key to optimizing outcomes.
