Abstract

Internal jugular vein thrombosis is an uncommon entity secondary to various aetiologies. In the pre-antibiotic era, it was commonly associated with Lemierre syndrome, a septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein secondary to oropharyngeal infection. With the advent of antibiotics, Lemierre syndrome has become a rare entity and is often overlooked. Internal jugular vein thrombosis may also occur in the setting of malignancy, a combination referred to as Trousseau's syndrome, which is not well documented.
