Filter by:Some cases of acute antero-lateral cervical pain cannot be accurately classified by medical imaging (ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging and/or CT-scan) : imaging rules out carotid dissection, carotid occlusion or vasculitis as well as musculoskeletal causes and thus the pain is considered "of unknown origin". The investigators hypothesize that in such cases perivascular inflammation of the carotid may be involved. This study aims at systematically reviewing medical files (including imaging) of patients suffering from acute cervical pain in which carotid dissection, carotid occlusion or vasculitis as well as musculoskeletal causes have been ruled out by ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging and/or CT-scan
Systematic retrospective study of medical charts and medical imaging files, of patients consulting for acute neck pain and presenting unclassified abnormalities on dedicated vessel imaging.
