ABSTRACT
Lemierre syndrome is characterized by severe pharyngitis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, and septic emboli. We present a case of emphysematous osteomyelitis secondary to Lemierre syndrome in a 27-year-old previously healthy man. Despite the high mortality associated with these conditions, full symptom resolution can be achieved with early diagnosis and aggressive management.
