Whereas International Headache society (IHS) criteria of carotidynia were defined in 1988, its validity as a distinct nosological entity has recently been questioned, leading this entity to be removed from the second IHS classification in 2004. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman who developed a pain located at the left carotid bulb, associated with typical findings on ultrasonography and MRI. We discuss new criteria and denomination of this clinical entity.

- Transient Perivascular Inflammation of the Carotid artery (TIPIC), previously called idiopathic carotidynia or Fay syndrome, is a rare condition marked by inflammation and pain in the carotid artery.
- Diagnosis of TIPIC relies on a distinct combination of clinical symptoms and imaging results, making it essential to recognize for effective treatment.

Takayasu arteritis and spondyloarthritis are two rheumatological diseases whose co-existence is well-documented in the literature. Data on the presence of inflammatory back pain in Takayasu arteritis without a diagnosis of spondyloarthritis, however, is scarce. Here, we present a 33-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department with acute-onset chest pain associated with left carotidynia, carotid bruit, and left arm claudication, normal electrocardiogram and computed tomography angiographic features suggesting Takayasu arteritis, including stenosis and occlusion of the aorta and its branches.

Background: Idiopathic carotidynia, also known as transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome, is a rare, self-limited, clinical-radiologic entity. Over the years, the diagnosis of carotidynia has been controversial, but recent pathologic, radiologic, clinical, and laboratory findings support an inflammatory etiology.

We report a series of 3 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.
