Lemierre's syndrome is a syndrome with high mortality, causing internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombophlebitis, septic lung and other organ embolism, which often develops as a complication of oropharyngeal infections. Mortality can be reduced with early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment. It is a rare syndrome and the case we have presented here differs from the cases with lemierre syndrome previously reported because of the involvement of superior vena cava (SVC) and subclavian vein.
