Mastoiditis with concomitant Lemierre's syndrome

We present a case of a six year-old girl with otalgia for over two months who presented to our Emergency Department (ED) with clinical mastoiditis, confirmed on CT scan, as well as an incidental diagnosis of complete thrombosis of the internal jugular (IJ) vein, Lemierre's syndrome. The true prevalence of Lemierre's from mastoiditis is difficult to discern.
