Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Acute otitis media can lead to mastoiditis, a rare complication.
  • Lemierre's syndrome, or infected jugular venous thrombosis, is an even rarer sequela.

Observation:

  • A six-year-old girl presented with prolonged otalgia and clinical mastoiditis.
  • Computed tomography (CT) confirmed mastoiditis and incidentally revealed internal jugular vein thrombosis.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates a rare co-occurrence of mastoiditis and Lemierre's syndrome.
  • The internal jugular vein was completely thrombosed.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering Lemierre's syndrome in patients with mastoiditis.
  • Emphasizes the need for emergency physicians to recognize these rare but serious conditions.
