AB - Abstract Deep neck-space infections may cause potentially life-threatening complications of head and neck infections. Lateral pharyngeal space infections in particular predispose to development of suppurative jugular vein thrombosis, which may be associated with anaerobic bacteremia and septic pulmonary emboli (Lemierre's syndrome). We describe a case of Lemierre's syndrome, a very rare entity in the antibiotic era, complicating mastoiditis. Surgical debridement and drainage in conjunction with antibiotic therapy resulted in prompt improvement in the patient's condition.
