Strokes are one of the top ten causes of death in Taiwan, and among them, cerebellar stroke is a relatively rare disease. Typical symptoms of common strokes are weakness and numbness of limbs. On the other hand, symptoms of cerebellar strokes, which are dizziness and ataxia, are different from those of common strokes. However, their main treatments are both rehabilitations. So far, there has been extensive literature on treatments for common strokes, yet little on cerebellar strokes. Therefore, Chinese Medicine doctors can only search for studies on cerebellar stroke with few keywords, such as dizziness, let alone the association of dizziness with other ataxia symptoms. In this case, our team treated the cerebellar stroke patient from the perspective of Chinese Medicine, modern anatomy, and pathology. The patient’s symptoms, such as dizziness and ataxia, improved significantly after the treatment. The detailed history of this case is as follows.
