1. Objectives Pneumothorax is defined as the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity causing chest pain and shortness of breath. Primary spontaneous pneumothoraces (PSPs) occur in people without underlying lung disease or trauma to the thorax. We have tried researching effect of herbal medicine Doksampalmulkeunja-rang(Լ߸ø¢ÚªÏÖí÷·) in PSPs.
2. Methods This patient with PSPs which size was more than 30% of Rt. lung, who had been experienced the recurrences of PSPs in Lt. lung for three times, was treated by Doksampalmulkeunja-tang(Լ߸ø¢ÚªÏÖí÷·) diagnosed by Soeumin.
3. Results Doksampalmulkeunja-tang(Լ߸ø¢ÚªÏÖí÷·) was effective against the chest discomfort and shortness of breath. The chest test was improved.
4. Conclusions The treatment with herb-medicine may have effect on PSPs symptom of Soeumin by raising the stagnant yang qi. Further Sasang medical study on PSPs is needed for recurrence prevention.
