ABSTRACT |
The purpose of this study is to develop an aproach to diagnosis and treatment of sequelae after removal of vestibular schwannoma through Oriental Medicine. An eighty year-old woman with sequelae after removal of vestibular schwannoma was observed and treated. She had difficulty of hearing, facial nerve palsy, dizziness and was generally weak. She was treated with herb medications for these symptoms. Having been treated for 27 days in hospital her symptoms improved. This report provides evidence for application of herbal medicine in treatment of sequelae. However, more cases are required for an in depth study of oriental treatments for this ailment in order to open this method of treatment to general application. |
