The possible identification of the neuroleptic malignat syndrome by a new concept of extrapyramidal malignant syndrome, which would adjust more to the symptomatology and to the physiological response of the extrapyramidal route, is exposed. It is stressed the importance of the diagnostic value of each symptom that is not taken into consideration in the diagnosis of IV mental disorders. A review of the topic is made ingether with the presentation of a new case.
