Lemierre′s syndrome: A rare entity with classical findings on computed tomography

Lemierre′s syndrome is a form of septic thrombophlebitis characterized by internal jugular vein thrombosis and septic emboli caused by Fusobacterium species which follows a spell of pharyngotonsillits. We highlight a case of 16 year old female, a known case of lupus nephritis presenting with Lemierr...
