<p>Inflammation of the pharynx or larynx could spread to the surrounding tissues and cause complications, including thrombosis of the internal jugular vein. We report the case of a 63-year-old man who was diagnosed as having peritonsillitis complicated by internal jugular vein thrombosis. He presented to us with marked swelling of his neck. Neck computed tomography revealed absence of blood flow in the right internal jugular vein, which led to strong suspicion of the diagnosis of Lemierre’s syndrome. Ultrasonography revealed a thrombus in the internal jugular vein.</p><p>Klebsiella pneumoniae was later isolated from blood cultures. We initiated the patient on treatment with sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium (3 g × 4 times a day) and continuous IV heparin, and the symptoms improved. When treating patients with pharyngeal or cervical infections, it is important to bear in mind the potential complication of internal jugular vein thrombosis.</p>
