A 37-year-old man presented with new onset jamais vu episodes. Jamais vu is a mental state characterized by a sense of unfamiliarity in a familiar situation. The patient's episodes of jamais vu were unrelated to any known factor other than his use of baclofen. The episodes, which occurred as each baclofen dose wore off, resolved after the baclofen dose that triggered it was discontinued. The patient has had no recurrence of jamais vu states after discontinuation of his baclofen. This is the first known case report of jamais vu episodes caused by baclofen. Although jamais vu episodes can occur in healthy persons, they are known to occur more frequently in persons with epilepsy, fatigue, psychologic states, or intoxications. This case suggests that medications should be considered as a possible cause of jamais vu episodes.
