eagle syndrome as a cause of transient ischemic attacks
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2009Co-Authors: Hamad Farhat, Mohamed Samy Elhammady, Habib Ziayee, Mohammad Ali Azizsultan, Roberto C HerosAbstract:Eagle syndrome is an uncommon entity but is well known in the otorhinolaryngology and oral surgery literature. This syndrome results from the compression of cranial nerves in the neck by an elongated styloid process causing unilateral cervical and facial pain. The styloid process can also cause compression of the cervical carotid arteries leading to the so-called carotid artery syndrome together with Carotidynia or neurological symptoms due to flow reduction in these arteries. The authors discuss the case of a 70-year-old man who suffered from transient ischemic attacks on turning his head to the left, with immediate remission of symptoms when his head returned to the neutral position. The patient was studied with dynamic angiography, which clearly showed focal flow restriction. Once a diagnosis was made, the styloid process was removed surgically and the patient completely recovered from his symptoms. A postoperative angiogram demonstrated complete resolution of the pathology. Neurosurgeons might encount...

Once the diagnosis is made, the treatment is clear and very effective.

Carotidynia a valid cause of unilateral neck pain
European Journal of Radiology Extra, 2009Co-Authors: Robert Barker, Hassan MassouhAbstract:Abstract Carotidynia is an unusual cause of unilateral neck pain which may be due to inflammation of the carotid artery wall. Its existence as a distinct clinical entity has been questioned due to inappropriate use of the term and a previous lack of confirmatory tests, including imaging, to support a clinical diagnosis of exclusion. We present a case of Carotidynia with ultrasound and MR imaging in a patient who presented with a pericardial effusion. We suggest that Carotidynia is a valid diagnostic entity and that imaging may be incorporated into any future diagnostic criteria.

TIPIC Syndrome: Beyond the Myth of Carotidynia, a New Distinct Unclassified Entity
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2017Co-Authors: A. Lecler, M. Obadia, J. Savatovsky, H. Picard, F. Charbonneau, Nicolas Menjot De Champfleur, O. Naggara, B. Carsin, M. Amor-sahli, J. P. CottierAbstract:The differential diagnosis of acute cervical pain includes nonvascular and vascular causes such as carotid dissection, carotid occlusion, or vasculitis. However, some patients present with unclassified vascular and perivascular changes on imaging previously reported as Carotidynia. The aim of our study was to improve the description of this as yet unclassified clinico-radiologic entity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2009 through April 2016, 47 patients from 10 centers presenting with acute neck pain or tenderness and at least 1 cervical image showing unclassified carotid abnormalities were included. We conducted a systematic, retrospective study of their medical charts and diagnostic and follow-up imaging. Two neuroradiologists independently analyzed the blinded image datasets. RESULTS: The median patient age was 48 years. All patients presented with acute neck pain, and 8 presented with transient neurologic symptoms. Imaging showed an eccentric pericarotidian infiltration in all patients. An intimal soft plaque was noted in 16 patients, and a mild luminal narrowing was noted in 16 patients. Interreader reproducibility was excellent. All patients had complete pain resolution within a median of 13 days. At 3-month follow-up, imaging showed complete disappearance of vascular abnormalities in 8 patients, and a marked decrease in all others. CONCLUSIONS: Our study improved the description of an unclassified, clinico-radiologic entity, which could be described by the proposed acronym: TransIent Perivascular Inflammation of the Carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome.
