Lemierre's syndrome is a rare disease that primarily occurs in adolescents and young adults. It is characterized by thrombophlebitis of internal jugular vein and bacteremia after acute oropharyngeal infection. The main causative bacteria of this disease is Fusobacterium necrophorum. We report a case of 10-year-old male, who presented with persistent fever and right internal jugular vein thrombosis and obliterance. The case was diagnosed based on the clinical features along with findings of computed tomography and ultrasonography.
