Abstract

This case report describes a 36-year-old schizophrenic man who developed malignant catatonia during a hospital stay. He was treated with benzodiazepines (BZD) and 26 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). After the therapy his condition normalised. Malignant catatonia is a rare condition that develops quickly and fulminantly and is fatal within a few days. ECT treatment is crucial, but despite aggressive treatment the prognosis remains poor.
