Objectives : The paper reviews the texts related to Naosuxiaoshuo in Huangdineijing, and investigates its cause, mechanism, prognosis and symptom expressions. Methods : The paper searches for the texts within Huangdineijing that deal with Naosuxiaoshuo, and tries to clarify the significance and the characteristics of Naosuxiaoshuo using the annotators comments regarding this issue. Moreover, the paper tries to search for similarities between the symptoms of Naosuxiaoshuo and the relevant diseases in modern medicine. Results : Naosuxiaoshuo is a serious disease where the diminishing of the brain's parenchyma can even lead to death. The cause is yin-deficiency based on the lack of vital essence and body fluid, and it also can be caused by the external pathogen or other stimulations. Moreover, it shows some similarities with brain atrophy and cerebrospinal fluid diseases. Conclusions : Naosuxiaoshuo should be treated with a focus on yin-tonifying dealing with spleen related to production of body fluid and the kidney related to storage of vital essence. It is also important to prevent external pathogens or stimulations damaging the bone marrow.
