Abstract
- Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome is a rare disease accompanied by acute neck pain and specific pathologic changes in the carotid artery and surrounding tissue. Here, we present a case diagnosed with typical imaging features, including extensive enhancement with luminal narrowing on vessel wall imaging and the presence of microbubbles on contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. These findings provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of TIPIC syndrome and importance of imaging modalities for early detection and management.
