RESUMO
Descrita pela primeira vez em 1900 por Coumont e Cade, a tromboflebite séptica da veia jugular interna (síndrome de Lemierre) é uma condição rara. Acomete indivíduos jovens e possui elevada morbimortalidade. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente atendida inicialmente como portadora de amigdalite bacteriana e que retornou com piora do quadro, associado à trombose da veia jugular interna, evoluindo, na internação, com embolia séptica pulmonar. Além de relatar o caso, fazemos breve revisão da literatura e chamamos a atenção sobre este importante assunto.(AU)
ABSTRACT
First described in 1900 by Coumont and Cade, septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (Lemierre's syndrome) is relatively rare. It affects young patients and has high morbidity and mortality. We describe the case of a woman first diagnosed with a bacterial tonsillitis, who returned to the hospital with worsening of the condition, associated with internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis, that developed to pulmonary embolism during her hospitalization. We reported the case, and made a brief review of the literature, highlighting the details of this important condition.(AU)
