A case report of dizziness by hemodynamic-Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency (h-VBI) that was successfully treated with Kampo medicine

Abstract

An inexplicable dizziness is considered to include a part of vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI). Although typical VBI has not only dizziness but also other symptoms, atypical VBI has only dizziness by a hemodynamic mechanism, whose concept is proposed as a Hemodynamic-VBI (h-VBI). This case report shows the h-VBI patient that was successfully treated with keishikaryojutsubuto. When a part of the inexplicable dizziness results from h-VBI, this Kampo therapy is possibly one of the treatment options.
