Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this paper is to report the patient with lateral medullary syndrome due to occlusion of vertebral artery who was improved by oriental medical treatment. The patient was admitted on May 15, 2009 and remained until May 29, 2009. He was treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and physical therapy. After the treatment, the symptoms(vertigo, diplopia, gait ataxia, sensory loss numbness, Horner’s syndrome, etc) improved. This result suggests that oriental medicine can be an effective treatment for a patient with lateral medullary syndrome due to occlusion of vertebral artery. But more clinical case reports are needed.
