Abstract
|
|
|
Facial nerver paralysis is classified as Supranuclear, Peripheral and Nuclear. It is mostly Spontaneous Peripheral Facial Paralysis(Bell’s palsy) or Supranuclear Paralysis by C.V.A, but Nuclear Facial Nerve Paralysis is rarely reported.
We treated a 64-years-old female patient who had 7-years history of C.V.A with hypertension and heart disease, and complained of these symptoms; left facial palsy, ocular dysmetria, diplopia, and right extremity weakness. We diagnosed as direct attack from the wind pathogen(風邪入中) with deficiency of both Gi(Qi, vital energy) and blood(氣血雨虛), and employed Oriental medical treatments; herb-medication, acupuncture and moxa therapy. The result was relatively acceptable. So We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.
