Abstract

A 62‐year‐old woman presented with whiplash, bruised chest, and lateral abdominal wall hematoma with an arterial rupture. Keishibukuryogan (KBG), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, was administered for treatment of oketsu syndrome. Five days after the injury, cervical and chest pain were still present, and the subcutaneous hematoma had increased tremendously in size. KBG was discontinued and jidabokuippo (JDI) was administered. The subcutaneous hematoma improved dramatically.
