Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present a case of gaze palsy due to thalamic infarction improved by acupuncture and herb medicine. Monocular gaze palsies which result from a supranuclear cerebral lesion are rare clinical manifestations. The pre-frontal cortico-oculomotor pathways travel across the thalamus and mesodienphalic junction terminating directly in oculomotor complexes. The acute disinhibition of these neurons by a posterior thalamic lesion results in a sustained but transient discharge of the medial rectus and tonic activation. Results of this study suggest a role for conservative therapy with herb medicine and acupuncture to treat gaze palsy due to thalamic infarction. Further research into oriental medical treatment for such disorders will be forthcoming.
