Reversible electroencephalogram changes associated with administration of baclofen in a quadriplegic patient: case report.
We present the case of a spastic quadriplegic who developed mental symptoms which resolved when his Baclofen was discontinued. Of interest was the presence of EEG abnormalities similar to those described in cats receiving this drug. These abnormalities, previously unreported in humans, resolved upon discontinuing Baclofen therapy.
