Abstract

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome is a potentially lethal condition due also to its life threatening complications. In particular, arrhythmias can be rare and severe early manifestations of this illness. They deserve a care approach because of their drug refractoriness. A fatal case of haloperidol induced neuroleptic malignant syndrome with concurrent complete LBBB and premature ventricular ectopics is presented, suggesting the existence of close relation between two.
