Abstract
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a known, life threatening, side effect of classical antipsychotic drugs. We report two cases of 16 and 17 year old males, who suffered life-threatening "NMS-Like" syndromes in association with Risperidone treatment. Further controlled studies are needed.
