Kurzfassung:
Posterior communicating artery aneurysms (PcomAAs) are the second most common type of aneurysm. Large cerebral aneurysms show various neurological symptoms, especially oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP), due to PcomAAs. Recent research has shown that stent-assisted coil embolization has many side effects. We report the effectiveness of Korean medicine in the treatment of ONP due to PcomAAs after stent-assisted coil embolization. A patient with ptosis and limitation of eye movement was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medicine (Samlyeongbaegchul-san-byeonbang [參苓白朮散變方] and Uwhangchungsim-won [牛黃淸心元] ), acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion. Clinical symptoms were observed by images of the inter-palpebral fissure and eyeball movement. After the treatment, the inter-palpebral fissure and eyeball movement were noticeably improved. These findings suggest that treatment with Korean medicine can be an effective option for the treatment of ONP due to PcomAAs after stent-assisted coil embolization.
