  • We report a rare case of remote cerebellar hemorrhage after intradural disc surgery at the L1-2 level. Two days after the spine surgery, patient complained unexpected headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. From the urgently conducted brain CT, it was reported that the patient had cerebellar hemorrhage. Occipital craniotomy and hematoma evacuation was performed, and hemorrhagic lesion on the right cerebellum was effectively removed. After occipital craniotomy, the patient showed signs of improvement on headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. He was able to leave the hospital after two weeks of initial operation without any neurological deficit. Remote cerebellar hemorrhage following spinal surgery is extremely rare, but may occur from dural damage of spinal surgery, accompanied with cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Early diagnosis is particularly important for the optimal treatment of remote cerebellar hemorrhage.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 시각의 유도운동을 기반으로 하는 새로운 현기증 진단 방법을 제시하는데 있다. 시각의 유도운동은 주위환경이 움직임에 따라 고정된 물체도 움직이는 것처럼 느끼는 현상이다. 실험은 방음실에서 수행되었으며, 전체적인 시스템은 PC, 조이스틱, 프로젝터 그리고 스크린으로 구성되어졌다. 현기증의 크기를 정량적으로 측정하기 위하여 세 가지의 다른 주수온도(1$0^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$,3$0^{\circ}C$)를 사용하는 온도자극법에 의해 현기증이 유도되어졌다. 또한, 색의 변화에 의하여 유발되어지는 COP(center of pressure)의 변동을 찾기 위해 여섯 가지색이 유도운동에 사용되어졌다. 그 결과, 유도운동이 현기증과 높은 연관성이 있다는 것과 색의 변화가 인체의 균형에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그렇지만, 색 자체의 변화보다는 집중도와 선명도가 뛰어난 색의 조합으로 구성된 유도운동 시스템이 필요하다는 것도 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 시각의 유도운동이 현기증의 정량적인 측정에 유용함을 알 수 있었고 이 연구가 현기증 진단 시스템의 개발에 확장되어 쓰여질 수 있을 것이다.

  • Objective : There are no Clinical reports on Nephrotic syndromes Which the patients improved by only oriental medical treatment. Method : We had administered Sin Youm-Bang for three months, and that time the patient didn't take the western medicine anymore by her own(steroid). And we observe edema, fatigue, headache, dizziness, lumbago and 24'h proteinuria, when we use only Sin Youm Bang. Result : We use Sin Youm-Bang during 3 month, edema, fatigue, headache, dizziness, lumbago was disappeared. And also 24'hr proteinuria was decreased(520mg/day to 28mg/day). Conclusion : Accordingly, We think, Sin Youm-Bang is used to Nephrotic syndromes and from now on we need more study at protecting proteinuria mechanism and immunological mechanism of Sin Youm Bang.

  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder clinically. It causes dizziness or vertigo, lightheadedness, imbalance, and nausea. by a change of position of the head with respect to gravity. BPPV is very well explained by mechanical consequences of loose debris within the inner ear and oriental medical theory of vertigo resulting from Phlegm(痰). Therefore, for treatment of BPPV, we can consider not only oriental medical therapy but also Canalith Repositioning Procedure. We report four improved cases of dizziness patient diagnosed BPPV and Dam Hun(痰暈) treated by canalith repositioning procedure and herbal medication and acupuncture.

  • Off-vertical axis rotator was developed to differentiate each function of the canal and otolith in the vestibular system and evaluate subjective symptoms during postural change. Eye movement induced by various types of rotation was measured in normal subjects. Nystagmus with fast component corresponding to direction of rotation was occurred by sinusoidal earth vertical axis rotation, and the gain of eye movement in vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) was lower than in visual vestibuloocular reflex (VVOR) and higher than in visual fixed vestibuloocular reflex (VFX). Degree of dizziness was proportioned to degree of gain. off-vertical axis rotation was produced severe dizziness than earth vertical axis rotation. These results suggest stimulation of the otolith should be minimized to make a stable and pleasant condition in work and travel.
