AbstractWe report an unusual case of internal jugular vein thrombosis in a 57-year-old female, with the recently discovered factor V Leiden (FVR506Q) mutation. The molecular basis of this mutation is described, and the importance of screening for hereditary venous thrombotic states is emphasized.

A young previously healthy patient presented with sepsis and cavitating pneumonia. Campylobacter rectus was isolated from blood cultures and subsequent CT neck showed an internal jugular vein thrombosis. Treatment was with antibiotics, anticoagulation and supportive management. Lemierre’s syndrome is an infectious thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. Although a rare diagnosis since the use of penicillin for treatment of acute pharyngitis, it is being reported with increasing frequency. Usually associated with Fusobacterium spp, we believe that this is the first reported case of Lemierre’s caused by C. rectus—an anaerobic member of the human oral cavity flora, usually associated with localised periodontal disease. The bacillus was isolated from blood during the acute presentation.

The internal jugular vein is an uncommon site of deep venous thrombosis. Infection, prolonged central venous catheterization, and trauma are the usual causes of this condition. We present an unusual case of spontaneous thrombosis of the internal jugular vein. The evaluation of this case included a search for possible anatomic, hematologic, and oncologic conditions which could predispose to hypercoagulability and thrombosis. Anticoagulation therapy resulted in complete resolution of thrombosis and subsequent recanalization of the internal jugular vein.

ABSTRACT Injuries to the head and neck region are less common than genitourinary, abdominal, inguinal region but are more severe and more likely to cause death.1 A 22-year-old patient presented with dysphagia and swelling in left lower part of the neck secondary to bull gore injury. The injury had caused a retropharyngeal hematoma, emphysema of the neck along with internal jugular vein thrombosis and with air in the lumen of the vein. Pulmonary embolism resulted in sudden death of the patient. How to cite this article Kumar RA, Niveditha J, Babu MM. An Unusual Case of Bull Gore Injury to the Neck Presenting with Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis and Retropharyngeal Emphysema. Int J Phonosurg Laryngol 2013;3(1):18-20.
