ABSTRACT
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but life-threatening medical condition often characterized by altered consciousness and clinical features resembling seizures. This case report presents a unique and successful diagnosis of NMS in an unconscious patient with an unknown medical history. We demonstrate the potential utility of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) as a valuable tool for the differential diagnosis of seizure-like medical conditions, including NMS. The application of aEEG allowed for early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment, potentially contributing to improved patient outcomes.
