The patient complained of severe headache and vertigo in spite of standard therapy after the decompression craniectomy. However, his symptoms were relieved immediately by administration of goreisan. The pharmacological effect of Kampo formulation i.e. goreisan is still unknown, but this formulation has been used for headache with edema, vertigo and vomiting.
