Case Report: Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery syndrome: a rare etiology of self-limiting carotidynia

TIPIC syndrome appears to be a self-limiting condition that may involve transient immune-mediated mechanisms. Clinical awareness of this disease is needed to prevent missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. The role of imaging in differential diagnosis and follow-up should be appreciated. There are still many unknowns in TIPIC syndrome and a large number of clinical studies are needed to fill these gaps.
