A case report of primary angiitis of the central nervous system treated adjuvantly with the dispelling pathogen and reinforcing healthy qi method
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a severe immunoinflammatory disease mainly affecting small and medium blood vessels in the brain parenchyma
spinal cord and pia mater. Due to its rarity and heterogeneity
effective treatment strategies are currently lacking. In this study
the disease progression was not halted in the patient with PACNS after pulse glucocorticoid therapy and immunosuppressive therapy. In the adjuvant treatment with TCM
the overall principle was to dispel pathogen and reinforce healthy qi
prioritizing the differentiation between the manifestations and root causes and identification of the primary problems. It was consequently found that phlegm and heat were the main pathogenic factors
and the core pathogenesis change was pathogenic excess evolving into deficiency of healthy qi. The first step adopted was to dispel pathogen by clearing heat
eliminating phlegm
and opening the orifices. Qi-nourishing and deficiency-supplementing herbs were used later when the patient’s progression started to slow down. After TCM treatment
the patient’s conditions gradually improved
and remarkable efficacy was achieved
which provided a new perspective for TCM treatment of PACNS.
