Homoeopathic treatment of hepatic haemangioma with ovarian cyst

Abstract

Introduction: This is a case of multimorbidity in a 35-year-old patient suffering from hepatic hemagioma with ovarian cyst. There was hepatomegaly with multiple well-defined homogenously echogenic nodular lesion (largest nodule of size 1.64 X 1.64 cm) in both lobes of liver suggestive of haemangioma. The right ovarian cyst was 2.26 X 1.25 cm in size with pelvic congestion syndrome. Case Summary: This case was treated with individualized homoeopathy for a period of 5 months at the outpatient department (OPD) of Regional Research Institute for Homoeopathy, Agartala. Homoeopathic medicine Pulsatilla, was given to the patient on the basis of individualistic approach. The patient not only improved in her presenting complaints but also there was change in diagnostic parameters. Post treatment outcome corroborated with follow up laboratory investigations that showed significant changes. Ultrasonography revealed no obvious abnormality after homoeopathic treatment with improvement in pelvic congestion syndrome. This case report suggests that a correctly chosen homoeopathic medicine can be beneficial even in complicated and unusual cases.
