Objective: This study is a report on a case of cerebellar infarction with vertebrobasilar artery dissection which was improved by Korean medicine.
Methods: A 63-year-old man diagnosed with cerebellar infarction with vertebrobasilar artery dissection was admitted to hospital for 86 days and treated with Korean medicine (acupuncture and herbal medicine) and rehabilitation treatment.
Clinical symptoms were assessed with a Modified Barthel index, functional independent measurement, Berg balance scale, manual muscle test, and a visual analogue scale.
Result: After treatment, the clinical symptoms were improved, and the evaluation index scores (modified Barthel index, functional independent measurement, Berg balance scale) increased.
Conclusion: Korean medicine may be a meaningful treatment for patients with cerebellar infarction with vertebrobasilar artery dissection.
