With the history, physical examination and investigations, a diagnosis of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI) was made and supportive treatment started with hydration, dopamine agonism, anticholinergic drugs and urine alkalinization. She started improving after 1 week of aggressive treatment and was discharged in stable condition after 3 weeks.
