초록

4년령 더브레드 중성화 수컷이 우측 안면부 손상 후 안검반사 불능과 아랫입술 처짐 증상으로 대학병원에 의뢰되었다. 신체검사를 통해 그 말은 우측 안면신경마비로 진단되었고, 치료를 위해 한방 침치료가 적용되었다. 침자리는 ST3, ST5, ST7, ST9, SI17, CV24 과 인당혈을 사용하였다. 전침치료 2 주후 안검반사가 정상적으로 회복되었고, 치료시작 한 달후 안면부 아랫입술 처짐 증상 없이 완전한 대칭상태로 정상회복되었다. 본 증례는 손상성 안면신경마비가 있는 말에서 전침을 사용하여 효과적으로 치료한 것이다.

A 4-year-old Thoroughbred gelding was referred to Chonbuk National University Animal Medical Center with inability to blink and drooping lower lip on the right side after traumatic accident. Through clinical examination, the horse was diagnosed as right-sided facial nerve paralysis. Acupuncture treatment was performed to treat the facial nerve paralysis. The selected acupoints were ST3, ST5, ST7, ST9, SI17, CV24 and Yintang. At the end of the $2^{nd}$ weeks of electroacupuncture treatment, the palpebral reflex was normally recovered. One month after the therapy, symmetry of the face was completely accomplished without the drooping lower lip. This case shows that electroacupuncture should be considered as an effective therapy for the traumatic facial nerve paralysis in horse.
