Abstract

Delirium is a acute syndrome of disorientation caused by dysfunction of brain tissue and has a many varied symtome. It is characteristic of consciousness disturbance with disorientation and dys-mnesia and emotional disturbance. We experienced a 91 year-old woman who had a sequela of compression fracture as well as unspecified delirium, and whose condition was improved through oriental medical treatment. We had given herb medication, acupuncture treatment and decreased medication to this patient, and observed. The patient's delirium symptom had improved through oriental medical treatment and decreasing medication. It is able to improve a delirium caused by not specified origin and side effect on drug abuse through oriental medical treatment and decreasing medication.
