摘　　要：To the Editor:In the past decade,there were increasing reports with radiologic and ultrasonographic findings arguing that idiopathic carotidynia may well be a distinctive disease entity characterized by unilateral neck pain,contrast-enhanced signal surrounding carotid artery or thickening of carotid wall,and excellent response to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or steroid therapy.[1,2,3,4]Here,we reported a case of imaging proved carotidynia with rare clinical manifestations as vocal hoarseness,swallowing difficulty,and syncope in addition to unilateral neck pain and headache.
