Tarek Khater, Osama Ramadan, Ahmed Tarek Abdelhamid

Lemierre Disease is a condition characterised by thrombophlebitis lesions following oropharyngeal infection which results in variable systemic sepsis features. This is a case of 31 years old man who’s been admitted after showing signs of upper airway infection and systemic deterioration that have driven a series of radiological imaging to show multiple solid organ septic lesions, abscesses and IJV thrombosis with bilateral pleural effusion. He had a positive blood culture and this case report describes the approach of this diagnosis using the radiological means and sheds light on the concepts of management of such a rare condition.
