In cases of hanging death usually occurs immediately after strangulation and is caused by ischemic cerebral damage due to neck compression in some cases in combination with respiratory obstruction. We report on a case of delayed death 4 days after an attempted suicide by hanging where the individual was conscious and showed no neurological abnormalities. The cause of death was a cerebral infarction following a traumatic thrombosis of the subtotally ruptured carotid arteries.
在缢死案例中，通常在缢颈后立即发生死亡，在某些情况下是由于颈部受压导致缺血性脑损伤，有时还伴有呼吸阻塞。我们报告一例自杀未遂缢颈4天后延迟死亡的病例，该个体意识清醒且无神经学异常。死亡原因是颈总动脉不完全破裂后创伤性血栓形成导致的脑梗死。
