超声造影诊断短暂颈动脉周围炎症综合征1例

Transient Peripheral Carotid Inflammation Syndrome Diagnosed by Contrastenhanced Ultrasound: A Case Report

摘要: 短暂颈动脉周围炎症（transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery,TIPIC）综合征是一种相对罕见的疾病，超声是初步判断该疾病的首选筛查手段，超声造影（contrast-enhanced ultrasound,CEUS）在 TIPIC 综合征患者随诊中具有独特优势。本文报道1例 TIPIC 综合征患者，因急性左颈部疼痛就诊，经非甾体抗炎药治疗后炎症显著缓解并消退，分析该患者随访过程中颈动脉病变的超声影像变化，总结 CEUS 在该疾病随诊中的应用价值，以期为临床提供参考。

Abstract: Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome is a relatively rare disease, and ultrasound is the first screening method for the initial diagnosis of the disease. contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has unique advantages in the follow-up of patients with TIPIC syndrome. This paper reports a patient with TIPIC syndrome who was treated with acute left neck pain. The inflammation was significantly relieved and subsided after treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The ultrasound changes of carotid artery lesions in this patient during follow-up were analyzed, and the application value of CEUS in follow-up diagnosis of this disease was summarized, with a view to providing clinical reference.
