|
Objective: The purpose of this case report was to evaluate the effectiveness of Korean medicine for treating unilateral ptosis with paramedian midbrain infarction.
Methods: One p
atient with unilateral ptosis with paramedian midbrain infarction was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture and herbal medication for 32 days. We evaluated changes in ptosis by measuring the vertical distance for the frontal gaze of the right eye.
Result: After 32 days of Korean medicine treatment the vertical distance for the frontal gaze of the right eye increased from 0 to 9 cm.
Conclusion: The study findings suggest that Korean medicine might be effective in treating ptosis due to a paramedian midbrain infarction.
