Abstrakt		Lemierre's syndrome is a complex and unusual clinical entity, characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. We present the case of a patient with Lemierre's syndrome, pulmonary embolism and propagation of an internal jugular vein thrombus retrograde to the cavernous sinus. The patient was treated with antibiotics and heparin. The importance of rapid diagnosis of the extent of the disease, in directing the otherwise somewhat controversial treatment with heparin in patients with Lemierre's syndrome, is stressed.
