Herbal medicine, oreongsan for recurrent chronic subdural hematoma: a case report

Recently, the East-Asian herbal complex Oreongsan (Goreisan in Japanese and Wulingsan in Chinese) has been noted for its usefulness in preventing postoperative recurrence of Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH). Here, we present a case of CSDH, an 84-year-old man which had recurred four times, despite three previous burr-hole surgeries. Following the fourth burr-hole surgery, an herbal medicine called Oreongsan (TJ-17, tsumura, Japan, 15g/day) was administered to the patient in hopes of preventing another CSDH recurrence.
