 The authors reported four cases who developed irreversible brain damage after neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) without lithium administration. We pointed out that lithium intoxication should be classified into two groups; (1) pure lithium intoxication, (2) NMS with lithium intoxication. Judging by the results of this study and a review of the literature, we emphasize that not only lithium but neuroleptica alone might cause irreversible brain damage. The clinical feature which persisted was cerebellar ataxia. Though the precise mechanism is uncertain, it is thought that not only the striato—nigral system, but also the cerebellum including its efferent system plays an important role in generating NMS.
