Diazepam Reactions 1704, p136 - 2 Jun 2018 Cognitive decline: case report A 46-year-old man developed cognitive decline during treatment with diazepam [Valium; dosage, duration of treatment to reaction onset and outcome not stated] The man had lower extremity spasticity due to a T8 spinal cord injury. He underwent multiple operations including placement of intrathecal baclofen catheter. In 2015, due to worsening of spasticity, he underwent various intrathecal catheter revisions and laminectomies. However, the spasticity worsened and he received large doses of oral diazepam along with baclofen. Consequently, the administration of diazepam resulted in significant cognitive decline. In late 2016, the man underwent various operations. Later, his therapy with diazepam was stopped after improvement of the spasticity.
