A series of 13 cases with unplanned carotid rupture is summarized. Time from surgery and radiation to rupture, survival time after rupture, and whether tumor is present or not at death is given. The longest survivor lived one year and eight months after rupture and was one of three patients without known tumor at death. Long-term planning for care in the head and neck tumor patient should include the patient and family. Decisions should be made objectively by all rather than during acute care crises. Occasionally a decision not to treat a pending or actual carotid rupture may be the patient's choice.
总结了13例意外颈动脉破裂的病例。给出了从手术和放疗到破裂的时间、破裂后的生存时间以及死亡时是否存在肿瘤。最长的幸存者在破裂后存活了一年零八个月，是三名死亡时无已知肿瘤的患者之一。头颈部肿瘤患者的长期护理规划应包括患者及其家属。决策应由所有人客观做出，而非在急性护理危机期间。偶尔，不治疗即将发生或实际发生的颈动脉破裂的决定可能是患者的选择。
