We report a case of septic thrombophlebitis of the right internal jugular vein linked with right-sided acute parotitis caused by methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) in a patient who had recently undergone a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Our case is unique because acute parotitis is a less-recognized cause of
Lemierre's syndrome
, never previously linked with
MRSA infection
in this context. We review the literature on diagnosis and management of
Lemierre's syndrome
caused by acute parotitis. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive antibiotics ensured a favourable outcome.
