This 63-year-old male without past medical history suffered from contusion brain edema over the left temporal regions, acute subdural hematoma (SDH) over right frontotemporal regions, diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and diffuse brain swelling with midline shifting to left side after head injury about 3 months ago. After right craniectomy with evacuation of hematoma and ward care, he was transferred to our hospital for inpatient rehabilitation. He received nasogastric tube feeding due to impaired cognition and bilateral hemiplegia, while profuse amount of yellow sputum was noted during three months of hospitalization. After combined traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, his symptom gradually improved with less and clear sputum.
