Objective: We report a case of non-specific Aconiti Tuber poison complaining only of severe peripheral neurotoxicity without cardiac dysfunction.
Methods: The authors evaluated the symptom changes of a patient who was hospitalized in an Oriental hospital for fourteen days. The patient received acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion and analgesics.
Result: No abnormality in examination for cardiac function or biochemical parameters was present. The severity of pain and dysesthesia in lower extremities gradually receded during the period of treatment with herbal and western medicines.
Conclusion: This study provides helpful information for treatment of Aconiti Tuber toxicity.
