Popis: Key Clinical Message Neurogenic fever (NF) is a potentially life‐threatening complication commonly seen in patients with pontine hemorrhage. This case report highlights the successful use of oral baclofen and propranolol as an effective treatment strategy to manage NF. Abstract Neurogenic fever (NF) is a common complication following pontine hemorrhage and poses significant challenges for clinicians in terms of diagnosis, management, and patient outcomes. This study delves into the efficacy of treatment methods involving baclofen and propranolol for neurogenic fever in patients with pontine hemorrhage. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in the duration and intensity of fever. Moreover, the treatment modality was well‐tolerated and devoid of any adverse effects. These findings suggest that the use of oral baclofen and propranolol may be a promising therapeutic option for managing neurogenic fever in patients with pontine hemorrhage.
