A 52-year-old female diagnosed with Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders (APD) about one year ago suffered from dizziness and gait disturbance. The patient was identified as Taeeumin esophagus-cold lung-dry symptomatology pattern and was treated with Jowisengcheong-tang. The patient's symptoms of dizziness and night sweats were assessed using Global Assessment Scale (GAS). And, the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) were used to assess the overall function of the patient. The patient's symptoms of dizziness and night sweats were significantly improved, and UMSARS and MDS-UPDRS scores were decreased. This case showed that Sasang constitutional medicine treatment can improve APD symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patient.

The two case reports here presented are based on an inpatient with lateral medullary infarction, known as Wallenberg's syndrome with chief complains of central dizziness and cerebellar ataxia, and an inpatient with infarctions of cerebellar, pontine, and lacunar thalamic region. QSCCII was performed while the patient was hospitalized and, by consultation with the Dept. of Sasang Constitutional Medicine, the patient was diagnosed with Taeumin. Thus, an oriental medical therapy of Cheongsimyeonjatang, acupuncture, and moxibustion was carried out. As a result the degree of dizziness decreased noticeably while other symptoms improved as well. Before leaving the hospital, the degree of cerebellar ataxia also improved and the patient was able to go on foot by himself. In conclusion, significant improvements were observed in cerebellar and a pontine infarction patients who suffered central dizziness and cerebellar ataxia through Sasang medical therapy.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on FOLFOX-induced symptoms such as nausea and dizziness in a patient with recurrent advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods: The patient was diagnosed with recurrent advanced gastric cancer and had FOLFOX-induced nausea and dizziness. The patient was treated with Samchulgunbi-tang and Banhasashim-tang for symptom management. The clinical outcomes were measured by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI CTCAE) and a numeral rating scale (NRS). Results: After treatment, the patient's nausea and dizziness were relieved from NRS 9 to 2 and NRS 8 to 2 respectively. During and after treatment, no severe toxicities were detected on laboratory findings. Conclusion: This case study suggests that Samchulgunbi-tang and Banhasashim-tang may relieve symptoms of FOLFOX-induced nausea and dizziness.

Brady-arrhythmia is defined as an arrhythmia in which the heart rate slows to less than 60 beats per minute. Brady-arrhythmia reduces cardiac output and causes changes in blood flow. As a result, dizziness occurs because not only ischemia occurs in the central nervous system, but also blood flow in major organs decreases. The insertion of an artificial pacemaker is known as almost the only treatment alternative for patients with brady-arrhythmia with symptoms. This study reports a case of 85 year old male diagnosed with brady-arrhythmia complaining presyncope type of dizziness. The patient underwent complex Korean medicine treatments by herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. The daily average value of pulse rate, K-DHI score, NRS score and the patient's subjective expression of symptoms were used as evaluation tools. This study suggested a significant improvement in symptoms through complex Korean medicine treatments without the use of anti-arrhythmic drugs or insertion of an artificial pacemaker in the patient with brady-arrhythmia complaining dizziness.

A case of intradural extramedullary cavernous angioma is presented with headache, dizziness, and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss caused by an intracranial superficial hemosiderosis. It was incidentally found in a patient with a 3-month history of sustained headache, dizziness and a 3-year history of hearing difficulty. The neurological examination was unremarkable in the lower extremity. MR images showed an intracranial superficial hemosiderosis mostly in the cerebellar region. Myelography and MR images of the thoracolumbar spine revealed an intradural extramedullary mass, which was pathologically proven to be a cavernous angioma. T12 total laminoplastic laminotomy and total tumor removal were performed without any neurologic deficits. The patient's symptoms, including headache and dizziness, have been absent for three years. Intradural extramedullary cavernous angioma can present with an intracranial superficial hemosiderosis as a result of chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
