The disorder is classified as an idiopathic neck pain syndrome, which is associated with point tenderness over the carotid artery bifurcation.
PMID: 38522944 Carotidynia, also known as Fay Syndrome, manifests as an atypical facial neuralgia characterized by an unusual neck pain extending towards the head and associated with carotid artery tenderness. Diagnostic criteria include neck tenderness, elevated carotid pulse without anatomical abnormalities, and neck distension. It was initially classified as a vascular headache but later re-evaluated and reclassified as a nonentity—a general condition caused by nonvascular factors. The etiology has not been extensively elucidated.
