Internal jugular vein thrombosis is usually associated with intravenous drug abuse, long-term venous catheterization, local infection, or spontaneous occlusion. The
antiphospholipid syndrome
is now recognized as one of the commonest causes of acquired arterial or venous thrombosis.
Lemierre's syndrome
is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication of internal jugular vein thrombosis after an oropharyngeal infection. A 34-year-old man presented with fever and progressive, painful right neck swelling 6 days after an episode of pharyngitis. Clinical studies including radiological and laboratory tests confirmed the diagnosis of
Lemierre's syndrome
associated with
antiphospholipid syndrome
. Although
Lemierre's syndrome
is a well-known cause of internal jugular vein thrombosis, association with
antiphospholipid syndrome
is very rare.
