Lemierre's syndrome refers to the septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, secondary to a pharyngeal infection. Although it mainly affects the internal jugular vein, isolated cases have been described of involvement of the external jugular vein. The main etiological agent is Fusobacterium necrophorum.
