Methods: A total of 114 cases (38 males and 76 females) of Meniere's disease were treated with EA of Ermen(耳门 TE 21), Tinggong (听宫 SI 19), Tinghui (听会 GB 2), Yifeng (医风 TE 17), Fengchi (风池 GB 20) and Baihui (百会 GV 20). The treatment was given 3 times a week,9 times altogether. Follow-up was made at the end of the 3rd, 6th and 12th months after treatment. Results; Follow-up in 114 patients showed that after EA treatment, 63 cases (55.26%) were cured, 30 (26.31%) had remarkable improvement in their symptoms, 10 (8. 77%) responded with improvement and 11 (9.65%) failed in the treatment, with a total effective rate of 90.35%. Conclusion: EA treatment was effective in controlling Meniere's disease patients' symptoms and reducing attack.展开更多

We here report the first case of BBE in China. Methods： Clinical features, results of electromyography, eleetroencephalography （EEG）, magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） and cerebrospinal fluid （CSF） examination were studied to clarify the characteristics of this syndrome. Results： A 44-year-old man presented himself at our inpatient department with somnolence and dizziness as his initial symptoms. He developed multiple cranial nerves paralysis especially internal and external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and tetraparesis within 1 week. His condition rapidly deteriorated, and he experienced coma. Electromyography showed indications of peripheral nerve dysfunction, electroencephalography revealed loss of basic rhythm, MR1 demonstrated high-intensity abnormalities on T2-weighted images of medulla oblongata, and CSF albuminocytological dissociation was defined abnormally as high protein. Ten months later, he almost completely recovered. Conclusion： BBE, fisher syndrome （FS） and Guillain-Barre syndrome （GBS） are similar clinically; BBE and FS were proposed to be the variant of GBS.展开更多
