Abstract
Objective: To describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine on dizziness and gait disturbance arising after removal of a vestibular schwannoma. Methods: The patient was treated using Korean medical treatments, such as herbal medicines (Jaeumkunbi-tang-gagambang and Yookmijihwang-Insamyangyoung-tang-gagambang), acupuncture, and moxibustion. We measured the state and progress of this case with the Korean Vestibular Disorder Activities of Daily Living Scale (K-VADL), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: After treatment, the K-VADL score decreased from 167 to 74 and the VAS score decreased from 10 to 5.7, while the BBS score increased from 3 to 42. Conclusion: Jaeumkunbi-tang-gagambang (滋陰健脾湯) and Yookmijihwang-Insamyangyoung-tang-gagambang(六味地黃湯 合 人蔘養榮湯 加減方) appear to be effective for controlling dizziness and gait disturbances occurring after removal of vestibular schwannomas.
