Lemierre’s syndrome is a systemic complication commonly caused by oropharyngeal infection by
Fusobacterium species, which manifests itself as an internal jugular vein thrombosis formation.
It is a rare occurrence nowadays with the availability of broad spectrum antibiotics for treatment.
Most cases in the literature presented with a life-threatening condition. We are reporting a case of
Lemierre’s syndrome that presented with persistent neck pain and swelling, initially diagnosed as
cervical lymphadenitis.
