Abstract

In this case report, we present a young man with Lemierre's syndrome, which is a potentially fatal condition most commonly caused by the bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum. When Lemierre's syndrome is suspected, it is important to consider X-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan, as they can bring tremendous diagnostic value.
