【Summary】
The 72-year-old female patient suffered from right facial nerve palsy due to a suspected injury to the seventh cranial nerves after an acoustic neuroma operation ten years ago, and even experienced severe dryness of eyes, right nostril and mouth. Diagnosis of Sjogren’s syndrome (Sicca syndrome) was given, but the symptoms improvement was scant by taking medication therapy, and the problem of dry eyes persist while artificial tears usage. Therefore, the patient went to the Chinese medicine OPD for help. After several months of continuous treatment with TCM, the symptoms of dry eyes of the patient were greatly improved. The use of eye drops that used to be more than ten times a day is now only 2-3 times, and sometimes it is not necessary. Through this case report, we hope to propose clinical reference and clinical treatment.
