About

TIPIC syndrome (previously called carotidynia) is a rare entity of unknown cause, where the patient has a temporary cervical pain associated with a suggestive inflammation around the carotid artery. Usually considered as a unique and benign episode, some patients have recurrences and the follow-up is usually short. In this study the investigators aim to evaluate patients who presented a TIPIC episode at least 3 months before, clinically and with a cervical doppler ultrasound
