Delirium is a acute syndrome of disorientation caused by dysfunction of brain tissue and has a many varied symtome. It is characteristic of consciousness distrubance with disorientation and dys-mnesia and emotional distrubance. We experienced a 66 year-old man who had a hydrocephalus and hypertension as well as Delirium caused by cranial trauma, and whose condition was improved through Oriental medical treatment.
