Abstract
Carotidynia (unilateral neck pain reproducible with light pressure on the carotid artery) is a controversial and poorly understood vascular condition. This review provides important historical information, several representative case reports, and a comprehensive summary of the literature. The authors also propose an algorithm for the care of these patients.
