Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this report is to introduce a case of diplopia caused by the fracture of the left orbital wall and to suggest Korean Medicine treatment including electroacupuncture as a possible method of conservative treatment. Methods : A 44-year-old male with diplopia, restricted ocular motility and facial paresthesia after the fracture of the left orbital wall was treated with Korean Medicine treatment from June 15, 2016 to July 15, 2016. Improvements of symptoms were measured by the diplopia questionnaire, cervical range of motion (CROM) diplopia examination, goniometer diplopia examination, subjective diplopia field and visual analogue scale (VAS). Results : During 4 weeks of treatment, the patient showed consistent improvement in the diplopia questionnaire score, range of diplopia and VAS of facial paresthesia. Conclusion : According to the results, Korean Medicine treatment would be a possible conservative treatment for diplopia due to a traumatic accident. Further studies are needed regarding possible long-term effects.
