Synopsis:

	A 37 year old woman, with 10 year history of headache, dizziness and blurred vision because of benign intracranial hypertension was given foot reflexology and Chinese herbs for 1-1/2 months after unsuccessful treatment with steroids. Symptoms were relieved and 6 months later, a funduscopy showed that the patient had normal optic discs and complete resorption of the hemorrhage.

Conclusion:

	Foot reflexology was shown to possibly be effective for the relief of benign intracranial hypertension by regulating edocrine system and promoting lymphatic circulation.
