Garlic is an herb which has been used by many cultures for treating various health problems for centuries. Uncontrolled use of herbal remedies, known as alternative treatment methods, may lead to side effects and serious treatment complications. This study aimed to draw attention to complications related to alternative treatment methods and to review the literature in the light of this case.A female patient who had been treated for trigeminal neuralgia was admitted to our clinic complaining of severe pain on the left side of her face. In anamnesis, the patient reported that she had applied garlic topically to this region. Extraoral examination revealed a broad cutaneous burn on the same region. According to a dermatology consultation, a treatment for cutaneous burns was applied and severe trigeminal neuralgia pain was eliminated with glycerol injection by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
大蒜是一种草药，几个世纪以来，许多文化都用它来治疗各种健康问题。不受控制地使用草药疗法（即替代治疗方法）可能会导致副作用和严重的治疗并发症。本研究旨在提醒人们关注与替代治疗方法相关的并发症，并根据该病例对文献进行综述。一名曾接受三叉神经痛治疗的女性患者因左侧面部剧痛前来我院就诊。在问诊过程中，患者报告称她曾在该区域外用大蒜。口腔外检查发现同一区域有大面积皮肤烧伤。根据皮肤科会诊意见，对皮肤烧伤进行了治疗，口腔颌面外科医生通过甘油注射消除了严重的三叉神经痛。
