It is known that there are many other organ involvements in the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) apart from respiratory tract involvement, and the disease may occur in different clinical spectrums in different patients. One of the most important structures affected by the virus is the vascular structure. It creates a tendency to thrombosis, especially by causing damage to the vascular endothelium and activating the coagulation system and may lead to important complications. It is known that the virus, which especially affects venous and small-sized arterial vessels, also affects medium-sized vessels. However, large-sized arterial vascular involvement is very rare. In this case report, it was aimed to present the left common carotid artery vasculitis, together with radiological appearance and clinical features, in a patient who presented with the complaint of left anterior neck pain in 4 weeks after COVID-19 infection.
