Carotidynia is a self-limiting, idiopathic clinical syndrome characterized by acute unilateral neck pain and tenderness of the carotid artery. We describe a unique case of bilateral carotidynia that occurred metachronously, with each incident resolving without long-term sequelae. Knowledge of this entity is important to properly interpret the imaging findings and to not mistake this finding as an ill-defined tumor, thus avoiding unnecessary biopsy.
颈动脉痛是一种自限性、特发性临床综合征，其特征为急性单侧颈部疼痛和颈动脉压痛。我们描述了一例独特的双侧颈动脉痛病例，该病例为异时发生，每次发作均无长期后遗症而自行缓解。了解这一病症对于正确解读影像学检查结果以及不将此发现误诊为不明肿瘤非常重要，从而避免不必要的活检。
