Abstract
|
|
|
|
Carotidynia is characterized by unilateral neck pain around the carotid artery. We describe a 50-year-old woman who presented with transient left-side weakness and right-side neck pain. She frequently massaged the uncomfortable neck area during the symptomatic course of the condition. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multifocal cerebral infarctions and a carotid intramural thrombus ipsilateral to the carotidynia.Long-term carotidynia might result in the involvement of an intramural thrombus and intimal disruption, and ischemic stroke after carotidynia may be provoked by carotid sinus massage.
