“…In cases of IC, a characteristic abnormal soft tissue surrounding the symptomatic carotid bifurcation has been previously reported on various imaging techniques like ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT imaging, CT angiography, and [18F] fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron-emission tomography-CT [5,7,8,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Several studies have documented the role of ultrasound in the preliminary diagnosis of IC [14,16,17,19]. In conjunction with these previous observations, the Duplex US performed in our patient showed the characteristic perivascular soft tissue thickening around the symptomatic carotid arteries.…”

Idiopathic carotidynia (IC) is a rare, possibly under-diagnosed clinico-radiologic entity that consists of acute unilateral neck pain and tenderness over the carotid bifurcation. Lecler et al. have recently described this condition associated with characteristic imaging features of transient perivascular soft tissue inflammation at the level of the affected carotid bifurcation, by a new term TIPIC (transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery) syndrome. We report the case of an Indian man, with recurrent right-sided TIPIC syndrome and past history of transient left-sided symptoms. On initial presentation, the clinical history, ultrasound (US) features, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and laboratory investigations of the patient were correlated to establish the diagnosis of TIPIC syndrome. Doppler US was performed for imaging follow-up of this patient, when he presented again with recurrence of similar symptoms of right neck pain. In this 45-year-old patient, US demonstrated a characteristic perivascular echogenic soft tissue around the symptomatic carotid artery. MRI confirmed these imaging findings and ruled out carotid dissection. Patient responded to antiinflammatory medications. Recurrence and resolution of the soft tissue thickening surrounding the affected carotid arteries were documented on serial follow-up US examinations. This case report illustrates that US can be effectively used in the diagnosis as well as follow-up of TIPIC syndrome.

“…However, in a review published in 1994, Biousse and Bousser dismissed carotidynia to be a myth and criticized the paucity of diagnostic imaging findings corroborating with the clinical presentation in suspected cases [4]. case studies that in a clinical setting of TIPIC syndrome, ultrasound with Doppler analysis serves as a first line imaging investigation [5,6]. US shows the characteristic peri-carotid soft tissue thickening along with normal vascular hemodynamics.…”

Transient Perivascular Inflammation of the Carotid Artery (TIPIC) syndrome; is a rare, under-diagnosed clinicoradiologic entity comprising of acute unilateral neck pain and tenderness over the affected carotid bifurcation. In patients with TIPIC syndrome or idiopathic carotidynia, diagnostic imaging demonstrates a characteristic transient perivascular soft tissue thickening at the level of the affected carotid bifurcation. This article presents a short review of literature and highlights the role of Ultrasound in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with a presumptive diagnosis of TIPIC syndrome.

Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome is a rare cause of atypical neck pain. The etiology of TIPIC is not fully known and is characterized by transient inflammation around the carotid artery. Ultrasonography (US) and especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most important evaluation methods in the diagnosis and follow‐up of the disease. In this article, we report a 25‐year‐old male patient who presented with unilateral neck pain and was diagnosed with TIPIC in the light of his clinical and radiological findings.
