As many of these patients receive their treatment on an outpatient basis, emergencies involving these conditions introduce a new layer of complexity. Of the many emergencies seen in the category of movement disorders, the topics covered in this chapter are parkinsonism-hyperpyrexia syndrome, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, serotonin syndrome, acute dystonic reaction and dystonic storm, and malignant catatonia. The following patient vignettes will serve as introductions to each topic.
