Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Korean medicine treatment (TKM) on a patient with ACA infarction and hemorrhagic transformation with hemiplegia and urinary disturbance. Methods: A patient diagnosed with left anterior cerebral artery (ACA) infarction and hemorrhagic transformation was treated with electroacupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine. Results: Improvements in the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), modified Barthel Index (MBI), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin scale (mRS), and K-MMSE were observed following the TKM treatment [MMT Gr. (3/0)→Gr. (4+/4+), MBI 20→89, NIHSS 8→2, mRS 5→1, MMSE-K 21→28]. Conclusion: TKM treatment could help improve the symptoms of patients with ACA infarction and hemorrhagic transformation.
