Özet

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.
