Ozone (O₃) gas is a molecule that consists of 3 oxygen atoms, found out in the mid-19th century [1]. Ozone gas preserves humans from detrimental influences of ultraviolet radiation [1]. In spite of harmful effects of O₃ gas, investigators think that it has excessive curative effects [1]. Nowadays, O₃ therapy is used for many fields of medicine in precise therapeutic doses [1] and [2]. It is known that O₃ therapy is helpful in dental procedures, cerebrovascular diseases, tinnitus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, sensorial hypoacusis, senile dementia, multiple sclerosis, irradiation sensitive tumors, herpes simplex and herpes zoster virus infections, muscular hypertonia, and chronic otitis media, etc.[2]. The complications and disadvantages of O₃ therapy could be observed in the future. Herein, we presented a case of ischemic stroke after an oxygen-O₃ therapy, which is called also Anton syndrome.
臭氧（O₃）气体是一种由3个氧原子组成的分子，于19世纪中叶被发现[1]。臭氧气体保护人类免受紫外线辐射的有害影响[1]。尽管臭氧气体有有害影响，但研究人员认为它有过多的治疗效果[1]。如今，臭氧疗法以精确的治疗剂量被用于医学的许多领域[1]和[2]。已知臭氧疗法在牙科手术、脑血管疾病、耳鸣、获得性免疫缺陷综合征、高胆固醇血症、感觉性听力减退、老年痴呆症、多发性硬化症、辐射敏感肿瘤、单纯疱疹和带状疱疹病毒感染、肌肉张力亢进以及慢性中耳炎等方面有帮助[2]。臭氧疗法的并发症和缺点可能会在未来被观察到。在此，我们报告了一例在氧-臭氧疗法后发生缺血性中风的病例，该病例也被称为安东综合征。
