Lemierre's syndrome
is a rare disorder that is characterized by anaerobic organisms inducing a thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) following a course of oropharyngeal infection. It often occurs in young and healthy patients. Clinicians continuously misinterpret early symptoms until infection disseminates systematically and life-threatening sepsis transpires. We report the case of a 58-year-old female developing
Lemierre's syndrome
accompanied by invasive ventilation support and a profound
deafness
requiring the implementation of a cochlear implant. This is one of two reported cases of
Lemierre's syndrome
associated with mechanical ventilation support and the only case associated with a cochlear implant.
