Carotidynia-A Case Report with Clinical and Imaging Follow Up
Ademar Lucas Junior, Luiz Alves Ferreira Filho, Bruno Eduardo Fernandes Cabral and Antônio José da Rocha
This article presents a case report with presumed diagnosis of idiopathic carotidynia (clinical, radiological and laboratory findings). Serial imaging exams (Doppler ultrasonography, MRI and angio-MRI) and laboratory follow-up documented the patient response to corticotherapy and its complete resolution. Within a longstanding discussion in the literature about the definition of carotidynia, our findings corroborate with its existence as a pathological disease.
