Positron electron tomography showed swelling of the left hippocampus with slightly decreased density and increased glucose metabolism, cranial MRI showed abnormal signals in the bilateral anterior temporal lobes with left medial temporal lobe swelling (Figure 1), and blood-biochemical tests showed a blood sodium concentration of 106 mmol/L.
(A) represents the front of the head, (B) represents the back of the head, and the small labels inside represent the acupuncture points of the head, Baihui (GV20), Shenting (GV24), Sishen cong (EX-HN1), Tongtian (BL7), Shuaigu (GB8), and Fengchi (GB20).

Tongtian (BL7) points of the parietal lobe, the Shenting (GV24) point of the prefrontal lobe, the Shuaigu (GB8) point of the temporal lobe, and the Fengchi (GB20) point of the occipital lobe were selected (Figure 2).
(A-C) are three different sections of the sagittal position of the MRI re-examined 10 months after the patient's fire needle treatment.
