Guillain-Barre syndrome, or acute inflammatory demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy, is frequently accompanied by cardiac and autonomic dysfunction. We report a patient who had tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, hypertension, pronounced blood pressure fluctuations, abnormal sweating, constipation and urinary frequency as well as qudriparesis. We thought that the GBS was incurred by Damp-Heat, used Heat-Clearing and Dampness-Transforming decoction(Chongjoo-tang) in the early stage. In the later stage, fortifying the Spleen and Boosting Qi plus Supplementing the Kidney decoction(Palmultang+chongawon) was used to remove low back pain and boost recovery. The patient reached the nadir 14 days after onset. He became bed-bound and autonomic dysfunction was very severe. From 3rd week, abnormalities of autonomic function and paresis impoved gradually and he could walk above 5m without walker or equivalent support at the 5th week after onset.

The following case studies illustrate the application of oriental medical treatment of patients diagnosed with neurogenical bladder. The outstanding symptoms of two cases were general weakening and voiding difficulty, urinary retention and lack of urine sense. In one case, neurogenical bladder was caused by an operation on the femur, and in the other case, by diabetes and anemia. Western medical treatment didnot have any effect in these cases, but after oriental medical treatment, self-voiding was possible. These resu1t suggest that oriental treatment should be considered for patients with neurogenical bladder.
