Carotidynia: revisiting an unfamiliar entity

Marcus Stanbro et al. Ann Vasc Surg. 2011 Nov.

Abstract

Carotidynia (unilateral neck pain reproducible with light pressure on the carotid artery) is a controversial and poorly understood vascular condition. This review provides important historical information, several representative case reports, and a comprehensive summary of the literature. The authors also propose an algorithm for the care of these patients.
