Estoy traduciendo un informe neurológico de una paciente que sufre pérdida de conciencia:

"... se reintenta omitir fenobarbital (el paciente refiere reinicio del tratamiento automedicado por miedo a crisis) durante este período, presenta problemas laborales por la inatención y trastornos de memoria, ameritando intervención del área laboral, por el servicio de trabajo social y psiquiatría, quien indica tratamiento ansiolítico. Se plantea la posibilidad de **trastorno cognitivo de tipo farmacológico" y se insiste con la omisión de fenobarbital progresivamente. Acude a controles durante los siguientes años persiste anictal sin cefaleas refiere persiste inatención y conductas afectivas de tipo maneiformes [sic] que no alteran su vida cotidiana, actualmente persiste recibiendo fenobarbital 50 mg y memantina 10 mg/día sin otro particular y mantiene en control médico."

Thanks, Wilsonn.
agree Joseph Tein : Hola Robert. Very few google hits for this, but it makes the most sense. Also possibly "drug-induced" cognitive disorder (more definite).

Thanks, Joe, yes, "induced" did occur to me, but I thought it might be too specific. So, not having a medical background, I decided to fudge it a little.
agree neilmac : Don't know if the "drug" is med or recreational, but this works either way IMHO... Likely phenobarb side effects and "crisis" cited probably epileptic type.

medication-induced cognitive impairment

Most commonly known as drug-induced cognitive impairment but just to avoid confusion between drugs (as in street drugs) and drugs (as in pharmaceuticals) I would use this.

Because medication-induced cognitive impairment is often reversible, it is important to conduct comprehensive medication reconciliation in order to provide for early identification and withdrawal of the offending agent(s).
http://mhc.cpnp.org/doi/10.9740/mhc.2016.07.201#_i9

A broad range of prescription or nonprescription medications can potentially trigger the onset of confusion, delirium, disorientation or a number of other significant problems known collectively as cognitive impairment.

neutral Joseph Tein : Hi Lorena. Why not "disorder" since the source says "trastorno"?

I thought about disorder first but cannot find references for drug-induced/medication-induced cognitive disorder
