Abstract

This case report documents one patient with acute cortical cisternal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had a central pain in the right upper limb and was treated with traditional Korean medicine in the Oriental Hospital of Se-Myung University. The patient was treated with Yangkyuksanwha-tang and acupuncture and followed up with a symptoms checklist and brain computed tomography (CT) scan. Initially, the frequency of right upper extremity pain was 18 per day, but this disappeared after treatment. CT follow up showed that subarachnoid hemorrhage was resolved. There were no side effects associated with treatment. This case shows that traditional Korean medicine treatment is effective in treating acute cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage.
