| ABSTRACT |
Objective:
This study presents a case of a 56-year-old Korean male with right-side hemianopia due to stroke. Homonymous hemianopia represents a visual field defect related to loss of vision in all or part of the left or right visual field in both eyes; treatment options for this condition are limited.
Method:
The patient was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine (Yangguksanhwa-tang), and electroacupuncture around the eyes. We executed a confrontation visual field exam (the Donders test) to evaluate any visual field defects.
Results:
The visual field area showed improvement after the management of traditional Korean medical treatments.
Conclusion:
Based on this case, traditional Korean medical treatments may be effective in treating hemianopia due to stroke. |
