Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Creutzfeldt­Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare rapidly progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a complication of antipsychotic medications which may be used to treat neuropsychiatric symptoms of CJD. We present a case of a 51­year­ old woman with CJD who developed NMS after being prescribed quetiapine.
