We report a series of three cases of transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome in an otherwise healthy individual. We would also like to review this rare entity and compare it with other similar cases reported in the literature. Our first case was a young male with right-sided neck pain of 1-week duration with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing right carotid perivascular inflammation which completely resolved after 2 weeks with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Methods: We enrolled patients with a definitive diagnosis of TIPIC syndrome who were included in a retrospective multicenter study. These patients were recontacted at least six months after the first TIPIC episode for a clinical and imaging follow-up.
Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC syndrome) is a rare, unclassified vascular syndrome that usually affects the distal part of the common carotid artery and has a favorable prognosis. The disease is often misdiagnosed even by neurologists due to the moderate intensity of clinical symptoms and their transient character. We present a case of a 52-year-old man who experienced two episodes of transient neck pain and moderate local tenderness one and a half years apart.

Here, we describe a case of a 49-year-old woman with left-sided pain above the middle common carotid artery (carotidynia) starting a few days after her second vaccination with an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine (Spikevax). Imaging was indicative of transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome.

Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) is an uncommon condition characterized by inflammation of the carotid artery wall, leading to unilateral neck pain. While TIPIC has been acknowledged by the International Classification of Headache Disorders, only a few patient series have been published thus far. The clinical presentation of TIPIC syndrome typically manifests as unilateral neck pain localized specifically over the carotid artery.
