A Case Report on Chalazion Non-operatively Treated by Kampo-medicine / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

A 52-year-old housewife with chalazion was non-operatively treated by Kampo-medicine.<BR>There were three chalazions on her right under eyelid and many infarcts of tarsal gland on her bilateral eyelids. Two of the three chalazions were successfully treated and the residual one became clinically non-troublesome. A large infarct of tarsal gland on her left upper eyelid disappeared through the process of conjuctival polyp formation, being well recorded photo graphically. Decoctions of derivatives of Saikokeishi-To were used for the therapy.<BR>The therapeutic mechanism of the clinical picture was briefly considered from both the stand point of “cell pathology” and that of “whole body pathology”.
