Abstract

Objective : About 5% of children suffer from convulsive disease before they grow up. Among the convulsive disease, epilepsy means the chronic and relapsed nervous disorder. The etiologic factors of epilepsy are very various. But about 75% of cases are idiopathic, in other words, we cannot find the origin of the disease. Method : We report on 8-year-old male patient with idiopathic epilepsy. We treated him with Hyoungbangdojeok-San and acupuncture. Results : After treatments, the symptoms(convulsion, cough, sputum, constipation, and sore throat) are improved. Conclusion : We had good effects in oriental medical treatment on Idiopathic Epilepsy. And the more study about this disease is needed.

특발성(特發性) 간질(癎疾)을 진단받고 지속적인 경련(痙攣)을 주소(主訴)로 내원한 환아(患兒)의 치료에 소양인(少陽人) 형방도적산(荊防導赤散) 가미방(加味方)과 철치료(鍼治療)를 병행하여 경련과 제반증상을 완화하는데 양호(良好)한 효과를 보았다. 비록 현재 경련이 나타나지 않고 있지만, 아직 증상이 남아 있는 상태이고 치료과정이 길지 않았으므로, 향후 지속적인 경과관찰이 필요하리라 사료된다.
