Abstract

We experienced a 71year-old man who had a traumatic subdural hemorrhage as well as delirium, and whose condition was improved through oriental medical treatment. Herbal medicine Hwaeo-jeon is administered three times a day. We did Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean(MMSE-K) and Korean-Dementia Rating Scale(K-DRS). After being treated, the patient showed that symptoms of delirium(diminished or altered state of consciousness, impairment of cognitive abilities or physical function) was improved considerably. This result suggests that Hwaeo-jeon has good effects on delirium with Traumatic Subdural Hemorrhage.
