In this case report, the clinical course and positive response to ECT of a male patient with mental retardation who developed NMS, after implementation of the fluphenazine decanoate was examined.

Yüksek doz, ilk kez ve özellikle kas içi nöroleptik kullanan mental retardasyonlu hastalar NMS gelişimi için daha yüksek risk altındadır. Bu olgu sunumunda mental retardasyonu olan bir erkek hastada, flufenazin dekanoat uygulanması sonrası gelişen NMS, klinik seyri ve elektrokonvulsif tedavi (EKT) olumlu yanıtı incelenmiştir.
