Chinese medicine cerebral pathology is generally recognized as one of the more difficult subjects for medical students to learn and master, and occupies a more important position in the teaching content of Chinese medicine internal medicine. For TCM students, it is indispensable to cultivate TCM evidence-based thinking and enhance clinical practice ability in the process of clinical teaching. The role of traditional teaching methods in clinical practice is relatively limited, and case-based leaning (CBL), as a new type of teaching method, can play a positive role in the teaching process of cerebral diseases of Chinese medicine. The application of case-based leaning in the teaching of Cerebral Diseases in TCM can not only fully mobilize students subjective initiative and cultivate their good habit of thinking in TCM, but also guide students to think in cases and explore in problems, which is one of the most important teaching methods to improve students clinical thinking ability and enhance their practical operation ability. This review intends to analyze the application and practical significance of CBL in the clinical teaching of TCM encephalopathy by outlining the characteristics of CBL in TCM encephalopathy, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the further clinical promotion of CBL and improving the students ability to discriminate Chinese medicine as well as to independently carry out clinical diagnosis and treatment work.
