Abstract
|
|
|
|
After recovery from acute carbon monoxide poisoning, some patients suffer from neuropsychiatric problems such as cognitive impairement, movement disorder, change of personality and mental disorder after lucid interval in which the patient has no symptom. This sequela of carbon monoxide poisoning is called delayed post-anoxic encephalopathy(DPE). No neuroprotective drug has yet demonstrated ecfficacy and hyperbaric oxygen treatment’s effect have little scientific evidence in preventing and improving DPE. In such situation, korean traditional treatment may be helpful in treating the patient suffering from DPE. In this case report, we will describe the patient that has suffered from severe DPE involving cognitive impairment, gait disturbance and incontinence but has been improved successfully by korean traditional medicine treatment, especially Jowiseungchungtang. This case could present how we will study about DPE.
