A man in his late 60s with a history of laryngeal cancer was transferred to our institution. The patient had undergone laryngectomy with radiation, modified radical neck dissection, and a pectoralis major flap into the right-sided neck wound in 1998. This operation was subsequently complicated by right carotid blowout requiring right-sided carotid artery ligation on November 5, 2005. The patient initially presented to our hospital with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3. Findings from computed tomography of the head at the referring hospital showed acute right-hemispheric stroke with left-sided hemiparesis.
