摘要

Carotidynia is a neck pain syndrome characterized by tenderness at the carotid bifurcation secondary to various aetiologies. We describe two young females who presented with carotidynia and on evaluation were diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis. Carotidynia in a young female should alert the clinician to evaluate for Takayasu arteritis.
