Abstract：A case of lumbar intraspinal meningioma treated with spinal canal decompression and combination of administration of Duhu Jisheng Decoction(独活寄生汤)and acupuncture is reported.Lumbar intraspinal meningioma is a benign tumor,rarely with malignant mutation.The typical manifestations are mainly clinical symptoms of nerve root compression,similar to symptoms of other lumbar spine diseases,and therefore missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are common.At present,western medicine treatment such as spinal canal decompression,that is,removing the tumor and relieving the compression of the spinal cord is usually applied,combined with symptomatic treatment such as anti-inflammation and relieving pain,resolving swelling and nourishing nerve.From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),this disease pertains to the category of lumbar and knee pain,and TCM treatment such as Chinese medicinals and acupuncture should be applied to replace the symptomatic treatment by western medicine,for TCM treatment can not only significantly reduce the side effects caused by western medicine,but also relieve the clinical symptoms of patients and improve the clinical efficacy.
