AbstractHyperthermia affects almost all endogenous regulatory systems, where especially cardiovascular and central nervous system interactions can result in life threatening complications. This review illustrates signs and symptoms, pathophysiology and therapeutic options of the three most common hyperthermic syndromes in neurology: malignant hyperthermia, serotonine-syndrom and malignant neuroleptic syndrome. The aim of this contribution is to enable the reader to make the differential diagnosis of these three disease entities. Furthermore the association of other specific myopathies and hyperthermia syndromes is discussed.
